Los Angeles at Golden State

NBA offensive star power is on display in this X-mas matchup. LeBron James leads a Los Angeles offense that is 10th in the league in shooting. The defense, though, is 18th in points given up, 24th in field goal shooting allowed (47.6%), and 19th at defending beyond the arc (36.5%). The Lakers come off a 117-114 loss at home to Detroit despite shooting 54.1% and LeBron having a triple-double. The defense allowed 51.1% shooting as the game sailed OVER the total. The Lakers are also on a 9-16 ATS run. Golden State is 11th from 3-point land (37.1) as a team and fifth in assists. Steph Curry is primed to bounce back after a bad shooting night (2-of-13) against Indiana. The Warriors bench had an impressive 53 points. These teams met four times last season with an average of 257.5 points scored (3-1 OVER) in finals of 128-110, 145-144, 128-121, and 134-120.
