Warriors at Lakers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Warriors 109, Lakers 106
Money line (ML)
WARRIORS (+125) is the smart play here as it’s tough to trust the Lakers without Davis. They defeated the Portland Trail Blazers Friday night, but before that, they had lost four-straight games.
Meanwhile, the Warriors have won five of their last seven games including three-straight. Given the odds, Golden State is the right play despite playing on the road.

Against the spread (ATS)
WARRIORS +3.5 (-115) is the value play, especially if you believe the money line is too risky of a bet.
Golden State has covered in five of its last seven games while the Lakers are just 1-4 ATS in their previous five games. Los Angeles has also struggled against the spread at home this season, going just 6-11 in 17 games. Expect the Warriors to keep this one close and win.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 221.5 (-110) is the lean as the Under hit in five of the last six games for the Lakers. Without Davis, the Lakers just aren’t as explosive on offense.
The under hit in five of the last six road games for the Warriors, as well. Look for both teams to approach 110 points, but for the Under to hit at Staples Center.
