Prediction

Based on recent performances, the Los Angeles Lakers have clearly been more convincing. However, in terms of overall roster strength, the Golden State Warriors are still stronger than the Lakers. With the spotlight on star players during the Christmas Day game, LeBron James’ ability to draw attention cannot be ignored. This is why bookmakers are still giving the Warriors a handicap, showing their recognition of the Warriors’ strength. It is expected that the Warriors will dominate at home and defeat the Lakers.

Pick: Warriors -4.0 (bet365)
