NBA First Basket Betting Picks & Predictions for Friday: Lakers vs. Timberwolves

Los Angeles Lakers at Minnesota Timberwolves

It’s no secret the Lakers have been terrible to start the season. National pundits are already spelling an end to the Lebron James era in Los Angeles.

Friday night is a spot where Lebron will try to do whatever he can to pick up that first win for the Lakers. Because of this, I love Lebron as the first field goal scorer. He’s going to look to impose his presence early and often in this game. He’s a player that has spent his career leading by example, and there is the motivation here for him to silence all the critics, or at least for one night.

Pick: Lebron James (+500)
