Los Angeles at Golden State

The Los Angeles Lakers have dominated the NBA for almost as long as they have been in existence, but they are facing a severe challenge to be competitive this season. They're toting an aging superstar and a supporting cast that is mediocre at best. That being said, this team should offer value this season, and the lines are already on the rise and this one is getting out of touch with reality. LA has lost each of their last two games by 20+ points. The Lakers are starting to figure out where they can generate points from other than Kobe Bryant, and Jordan Hill and Jeremy Lin have stepped it up. The Lakers had a winning ATS record last season, and the points mattered in just 16 of those games - and that was without Kobe. Golden State has been known to coast after a big win of 10 points or more where they are just 3-10-1 ATS in their last 14. This is just the 29th time they have been favored by 11 or more, and they are a woeful 9-19 ATS in the first 28. Take the generous points on LA.
