The Lakers’ recent games have shown good offensive efficiency, typically scoring around 110-120 points, with total game scores often ranging between 220 to 230 points. Portland’s Damian Lillard can score from anywhere, particularly with his three-point shooting and drives to the basket. The Blazers are capable of executing fast breaks and hitting a lot of three-pointers, while the Lakers have multiple scorers who can help maintain a high scoring pace. Despite the Lakers’ strong defense, Portland’s offensive tempo and three-point shooting ability will still contribute to a high-scoring game.

Pick: Total points over 225.5 (bet365)
