I'm not investing in a winner with the total being so high on the Warriors, though I think they win. I'm backing the under in this game because of the defense of Warriors being very strong last season and the Lakers not making enough changes to the roster to pose a threat of scoring 110 points regularly. This will be a slower and more physical game as the Lakers limit the Warriors to get transition baskets, making this a possession by possession chess match. Darvin Ham is also used to seeing low scoring games as well, having previously coached the Bucks who had a top 3 defense in the Eastern Conference.

Official Play: Under 225

Side Bet: Curry over 3.5 Threes (-125)
