Expert picks & predictions for the Lakers at Warriors’ game on Christmas Day
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the big man in LA – no, not LeBron – to enjoy a merry Christmas: Anthony Davis Over 25.5 Points (-125)
“The Warriors don’t have an inside presence capable of slowing Anthony Davis down. AD has not played the Warriors this season but has scored 27 or more points in three of the past four meetings.”
