These teams just met three games ago. The final in that one was Lakers, 109-103, for a total of 212 points.

I'm expecting another low-scoring game this time around, too.

The Warriors were the No. 2 ranked defense last season. Now they rank 27th defensively. They are due to start playing much defense. I see that starting now, following All-Star break, where intensity increases.

The Lakers are breaking in five new rotation players and no longer have Russell Westbrook, who was good for the Over. So they are in transition. They also draw the Warriors minus Stephen Curry.

Neither team has played in more than a week so there could be a rust factor, too.
