NBA Opening Night features just a light doubleheader to ease us into the new season, but it concludes with a must-watch in-state rivalry. Although we won\u2019t see LeBron James<\/a> take the court, we’ll still see Stephen Curry<\/a> and company back in action, and to enjoy it to the fullest, we\u2019ve got our best Warriors vs. Lakers predictions for tomorrow.<\/p>\n

We also know that fans in California don\u2019t have legal sports betting for their Warriors vs. Lakers picks, which is why we\u2019ve also shared a guaranteed\u00a0Novig Sportsbook<\/a>\u00a0promo code bonus – legal in ALL states but AL, CO, ID, LA, MI, MT, NV and TN!<\/p>\n

Warriors vs. Lakers Predictions for NBA Opening Night, 10\/21<\/p>\n

The LeBron James<\/a> injury (sciatica) makes this Warriors vs. Lakers season opener a bit less star-studded, but of course, these Cali squads will meet again. It\u2019s also a factor as to why we see the Warriors vs. Lakers odds for Tuesday slightly favoring Stephen Curry<\/a> and Golden State.<\/p>\n

LA still has one of the best players in the entire NBA anyway, as Luka Doncic<\/a> is who they\u2019re now building around anyway. It will put more pressure on Austin Reaves<\/a>, but as we saw as last season progressed, he\u2019s more than capable of stepping up. All that to say that we have no desire to focus our Warriors vs. Lakers predictions on picking a winner.<\/p>\n

Rather than sweating out a pick in that regard, we\u2019re going to instead put our focus on the Warriors vs. Lakers player prop markets. There is certainly no shortage of options given the names that we\u2019ve already mentioned, Jimmy Butler<\/a> and more.<\/p>\n

In Luka Doncic<\/a>\u2019s last game against Golden State as a Dallas Maverick, he had an amazing 45-point, 11-rebound, 13-assist triple-double, and in his first game against them as a Laker, he nearly had another with 19 points, 8 boards and 7 assists. Consider that route, but the best bet from our Warriors vs. Lakers picks is focused on the road team.

As much as we love finding value with the \u201cothers,\u201d role players or however you like to refer to the guys beyond the superstars, that\u2019s not our approach for NBA Opening Night picks. We fully expect the big names to show out on the national stage, which of course, includes Stephen Curry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The NBA record-holder for three-pointers made can put up points in a flurry, and that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re expecting for our Warriors vs. Lakers predictions. We\u2019ve seen his prop ranging from 23.5 to 25.5 over the course of the week leading up to opening night, so be sure to try and get the best line possible.<\/p>\n

Even still, a 30+ point night is what we\u2019re expecting. After all, that is exactly what he\u2019s done to the Lakers as of late. Each of the last two games between these teams were also in Los Angeles, and Stephen Curry<\/a> couldn\u2019t have cared less about being on the road.<\/p>\n

In each of those games, the future Hall-of-Famer put up 37 points! The most recent of which was even while Jimmy Butler<\/a> was there and played 36 minutes, so we aren\u2019t overly concerned with him leeching too much of the action. Therefore, the best bet from our Warriors vs. Lakers predictions for tomorrow is Stephen Curry<\/a>\u00a0over 23.5 points (-119 at Novig)<\/a>.
