SLUG: warriors-lakers-opening-night-betting-preview
The Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers will launch the 2025-26 NBA season against one another, and betting markets are already highlighting the matchup with point-spread numbers, totals and a range of player props.
A New York Post report published on Oct. 21 outlines the latest odds and suggests several wagering angles for Opening Night. The story reviews the standard spread and over/under, in addition to specialty wagers such as three-point totals and individual scoring props. It also details recommended plays drawn from current sportsbook lines.
While exact figures vary across operators, the Post notes that oddsmakers have posted both team and player markets well ahead of tip-off, giving bettors plenty of time to lock in their selections.
The report emphasizes that opening lines are subject to movement as action comes in and as any late roster updates surface before game time.
