Season series: Golden State leads 2-1
Golden State beat the Utah Jazz 118-110 Sunday, failing to cover as a 13-point home favorite. G Klay Thompson had a 32-point outing and F Jonathan Kuminga added 21 points on 9-of-11 shooting off the bench in his return from a knee injury. The Warriors have won 7 of their last 8.
Los Angeles lost 127-117 vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves Sunday while failing to cover as a 1.5-point home underdog. L.A. allowed Minnesota to shoot 51.5% from the field and were the victims of a 31-point outing for Timberwolves C Naz Reid. Sunday’s loss ended a 4-game winning streak for the Lakers.

Warriors at Lakers picks and predictions
Prediction
Lakers 120, Warriors 119
Moneyline
BET LAKERS (-130).
Los Angeles has won in 6 of its last 10 matchups vs. Golden State overall and is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in L.A. The Lakers have also been a very good home team (27-13), so I don’t expect L.A. to lose to Golden State twice at Crypto.com Arena this season.
Davis has had a phenomenal season, ranking as the 10th-best player in the league statistically, according to California Sports Betting; LeBron ranks just behind him at 16th. The play of these 2 stars will be pivotal in the win, and I expect both to show up.
Against the spread
LEAN WARRIORS +2 (-110).
Golden State has covered the spread in each of its last 2 meetings with the Lakers. The Warriors are also 4-2 ATS in their last 6 road games.
Recent Warriors-Lakers matchups have been very close and very evenly matched, so I expect the same here.
This is only a lean because neither team has been very good ATS lately, with Golden State at 5-5 in its last 10 and LA at 6-4 in that same span. The Lakers also hold a narrow 6-4 ATS lead in the last 10 meetings.
Over/Under
BET OVER 232.5 (-110).
The Over has hit in 3 of L.A.’s last 4 games and is 2-1 in its last 3.
For Golden State, the Over is 2-1 in its last 3 games overall and has hit in 2 of its last 3 road outings. The Over has also hit in 4 of the last 5 Golden State-L.A. matchups.
