NBA Predictions 18-19: Lakers vs Mavericks is the main dish of the Nba night at the door. The Californians seek a victory to drive away the first ghosts while the Texans try to confirm the good things done so far. Before the two-ball at Staples, the Warriors host the Pelicans.

First win in the night for Cleveland Cavaliers who have to do without Kevin Love for a long time.

NBA Predictions 18-19: before Lakers vs Mavericks, the NBA champions.

Golden State Warriors (7-1) vs. New Orleans Pelicans (4-2). If there were ever doubts about who was the favorite team of the year, the Warriors immediately put the record straight. Even with Green not at its best and Cousins ​​out, the other big on the roster are having fun asphalting their opponents. The last in chronological order was Klay Thompson, who set the record for triples scored in a match (14). The most obvious fact is that Stephen Curry is fresh physically as perhaps it has not happened for a couple of years. The Pelicans, after a sprint start, gave up a moment: not surprisingly, the decline in performance came without Anthony Davis on the pitch. The presence of the big man is still in doubt, with the hope, of course, that it can be of contention. In full, by type of game and structure, the team of coach Alvin Gentry is one of those best equipped to annoy the battleship of Kerr. Out definitely for the Elfrid Payton match.

NBA Predictions 18-19: Lakers vs Mavericks

Los Angeles Lakers (2-5) vs. Dallas Mavericks (2-5). First crunches in the Lakers locker room, after LeBron James declarations at the end of the match against Minnesota. Yet another meeting lost on the edge of wool, with the problem not so much of the defeat but of how it arrived. The rotations are still to be fixed and coach Walton has to find the keystone. Ingram, Kuzma and Ball seem ready to lend a hand to the King in winning the classification, but there must first be a step in defense of the big ones. It's still early for the judgments, but if you have the strongest player in the world you can not afford to stay in the slums of the League. For Dallas, good performances and even rotations to be adjusted. Luka Doncic is showing everyone that years of Euroleague can make the difference, naturally assisted by talent. Over 20 points, 6 Rebounds and 4 Assist for the prodigy boy. With the recovery of Harrison Barnes you begin to glimpse the real roster available to coach Carlisle, who will soon find a new leader, since there is no good news about Dirk. The growth process may be more or less sudden but the future seems to smile in Texas.
