Walker Kessler scored 26 points on 12-for-12 shooting against the Warriors on opening night. He already had 9 dunks early in the third quarter, fed by Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.
Golden State has Kristaps Porzingis out. I’m taking Lakers -1.5 with Doncic expected back to keep feeding Kessler inside.
Collin Sexton has averaged 12.0 points across 4 appearances off the bench, including 21 in Wednesday’s win over the Clippers without Doncic.
