Wednesday’s Lakers-Warriors season opener at Crypto.com Arena pits Luka Dončić against Stephen Curry, whose availability looks encouraging after he practiced fully Monday following a right ankle scare. Golden State remains shorthanded without Jimmy Butler, Moses Moody and Kristaps Porziņģis, while Brandin Podziemski’s back soreness adds uncertainty to its rotation. For prediction market traders, Curry’s workload deserves close attention. Steve Kerr has indicated he could begin the season playing fewer than 32 minutes per game, a factor that could influence his scoring positions and Golden State’s offensive ceiling.
