🏀 Incoming Pick for Los Angeles Lakers @ Golden State Warriors
This game features two severely depleted rosters with minimal offensive firepower. The Warriors are without Stephen Curry (confirmed OUT), Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, Quinten Post, and Moses Moody — stripping them of their primary offensive engine and most of their frontcourt. Without Curry, the Warriors went 13-25 and ranked as the NBA's 5th-worst offense during his 27-game absence. The Lakers are without Luka Dončić (33.5 PPG), Austin Reaves (20.0 PPG), Marcus Smart (late scratch from questionable), and Jaxson Hayes. LeBron James returns but is the sole offensive threat on a team that scored just 87 points in its last full game without him.
The total has already dropped from 225.5 to 221.5 (and 220.5 at Bovada) as the market priced in Curry's absence, but I believe it should be lower still. The Lakers scored 96 or fewer in 2 of their last 3 games. The Warriors scored 116 or fewer in 5 straight even with Curry playing two of those. Without Curry, the Warriors' 3-point volume architecture collapses — they're the NBA's #1 team in 3PA but their shooting percentage is only 35.6%, and without Curry creating those looks, efficiency drops further. The Lakers play at one of the NBA's slowest paces (99.32) over the last 15 games, and without secondary creators, this game will grind through half-court possessions.
The motivation factor also points under. The Warriors are locked into the 10th seed and explicitly preserving health for the play-in. The Lakers have their 4th seed effectively locked and JJ Redick has stated the focus is on evaluating playoff-ready players, not winning. Neither team has strong incentive to push pace or extend minutes for key players. The Warriors' season OVER rate of 58.2% was inflated by Curry's presence; without him, the scoring environment changes dramatically. With both teams missing their top offensive options and neither having strong motivation to push, this projects as a low-scoring grind in the 210-216 range.

I haven't been able to find a listed Hypurr I really like. If you have a clean one for sale, show me what you got! I'm willing to pay a premium what I like whether it's rare or not (budget is up to 5K HYPE).
Here's an example of a non-rare aesthetic that I like.
