Continue reading for The Panel's in-depth coverage and expert predictions as the NBA season continues with some Friday night picks.

Lakers Vs Spurs Prediction (O/U 227.5, Lakers -3.5)

The Los Angeles Lakers are 7-4 ahead of their contest with the San Antonio Spurs, who are currently 6-6 and have won consecutive games. 

Expect many props on basketball betting sites LeBron James and Victor Wembanyama and for good reason. James has three straight triple-doubles, while Wembanyama dropped 50 on Washington.

However, San Antonio are a different team on home court, while the Lakers are 1-4 on the road. 

The Spurs are a young team that will make mistakes, but they are fun to watch. 

Wembanyama needs to be more assertive and shoot more and San Antonio are much more effective offensively when he does.

At home, the Spurs are 5-2 at home and have won three of their last four at the Alamodome. It is hard to stray from the Lakers, but home advantage plays a role here.

So, The Panel likes the Spurs to win on Friday night.

Our NBA Picks For Friday Night 

• The Panel Pick 1: San Antonio Spurs Moneyline @ 13/10 With William Hill
• The Panel Pick 2: Brooklyn and New York Over 216.5 Points @ Evens With BoyleSports
• The Panel Pick 3: Stephen Curry Over 26.5 points @ 10/11 With Bet365

Nets Vs Knicks Prediction (O/U 216.5, Knicks -10)

Both the Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks have been up and down this season. The Knicks have been more disappointing with a 5-6 record. 

Building consistency is tough when Madison Square Garden is not as intimidating for opposing teams to play in. The Knicks are .500 at home during the early going. 

The bright side is that the team is scoring. In a recent loss to Chicago, the Knicks scored 123, but they came up one point short.

Brooklyn conceded 139 points to the Boston Celtics at home and this is a game where points could come in bunches, especially late on. 

The Over can be played at 216.5, so look around for the best price on betting apps. 

The next Panel pick for this Friday night is for Brooklyn and New York to combine for at least 217 points.

The Panel Pick 2: Brooklyn & New York Over 216.5 Points @ Evens With BoyleSports

Grizzlies Vs Warriors Prediction (O/U 235.5, Warriors -7.5)

With all the departures and turmoil over the past few seasons, the Golden State Warriors were not expected to start well this season. 

However, the Warriors have won nine of their 11 opening games to start the campaign positively.

They have only played four games at home and after a long road trip, they were sluggish against Dallas.

However, they held on for a big three-point win as Stephen Curry scored 35+ points again. He has also attempted 20+ shots in consecutive games.

In this nightcap on ESPN, expect to see Curry put on another show. The player prop total for Curry is 26.5 points and he could easily top 30+ points again. 

The Panel's third and final pick is for Curry to score 27 or more points on Friday night.

The Panel Pick 3: Stephen Curry Over 26.5 points @ 10/11 With Bet365
