Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Lakers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Lakers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Golden State Warriors (43-35) take on the Los Angeles Lakers (45-34) Tuesday. Tip-off from Crypto.com Arena is set for 10 p.m. ET (TNT). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Warriors vs. Lakers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

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.

Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Lakers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Lakers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Golden State Warriors (34-31) and Los Angeles Lakers (36-31) meet Saturday. Tip-off from Crypto.com Arena is set for 8:30 p.m. ET (ABC). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Warriors vs. Lakers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Warriors are coming off a 109-99 loss against the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday with the Under (233) cashing at American Airlines Center. They’ve lost 3 of 4 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) after failing to cover as 8.5-point underdogs at Dallas.

The Lakers, who were 2-point favorites, lost 120-107 at the Sacramento Kings Wednesday as the Under (237.5) hit. G Austin Reaves had 28 points for the Lakers, who lost to the Kings for the 7th time in the last 8 meetings.

The SU winner has covered in each meeting between these teams this season, and the Over/Under has gone 1-1. The Warriors won 128-110 in the most recent meeting Feb. 22 with the Under (244) cashing in San Francisco.

Warriors at Lakers picks and predictions

Prediction

Lakers 119, Warriors 116

Moneyline

The LAKERS (-132) will have no lack of motivation Saturday after getting swept in the season series against their divisional rival in Sacramento last time out.

The Warriors are just 2-4 SU over their last 6 games, and questionable tags on 2 of their most important starters makes me want to avoid betting them at this number — especially since depth is not their strength.

BET LAKERS (-132).

Against the spread

I think the market has already landed on the perfect number here.

PASS. Bet Lakers ML and/or the total instead.

Over/Under

This number has dropped since 238 was available Friday around 10 p.m. ET. If you like the Under, you’re no longer getting the best of the number. However, I believe the Over hits at 233.5. The Lakers had put up 120 or more in 3 straight games before embarrassing themselves in Sacramento Wednesday.

BET OVER 233.5 (-110).

Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Lakers Game 6 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Lakers Game 6 odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Golden State Warriors battle the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals on Friday. The Lakers lead 3-2. Tip from crypto.com Arena is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Warriors vs. Lakers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Golden State stayed alive on Wednesday with a 121-106 home victory to cover as 7.5-point favorites. G Steph Curry led the way with 27 points while F Andrew Wiggins tacked on 25 and C Draymond Green had 20 points and 10 rebounds. The Warriors were in control of Game 5 from start to finish. With their backs against the walls, they will attempt to do the same on Friday.

The Lakers were led by F LeBron James who had 25 points and C Anthony Davis who had 23. The Lakers only got 28 points from their bench and struggled to compete. Returning to their home court, they will need a more rounded production to close out the series.

Prediction

Lakers 109, Warriors 105

Moneyline

PASS.

There is more money to be made on a spread play for the Lakers, who are 5-0 in their last 5 home playoff games.

Against the spread

BET LAKERS -2.5 (-115).

The Lakers have won and covered in their last 5 home games including the last 2 games against the Warriors. Expect James and one of the Laker’s roll players to carry the load in this critical game and their last opportunity to close out the series at home. While Curry will surely give it his best, the defense of Davis will lock the Warriors down allowing the -2.5 (-115) to cash.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 221.5 (-115).

The Over has hit in 3 of the 5 games in this series and in an elimination game, as we saw on Wednesday, both teams will need to be playing their best basketball to take control. While the Lakers will try to control the pace of the game, expect them to figure out their streakiness and come together as a team for a win with a solid offensive performance.

Warriors at Lakers picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 116, Lakers 113

Moneyline

The WARRIORS (+135) are worth playing on the moneyline as slight underdogs.

Golden State lost the first 2 games of the Sacramento series in the first round, but it is 5-3 without losing consecutive games since.

Against the spread

WARRIORS +3.5 (-115) are the play in Game 4 as they look to bounce back.

The Dubs are 4-0 ATS in the past 4 games after a non-cover and 6-1 ATS in the past 7 games following a straight-up loss.

The Lakers have covered 4 in a row at home but they’re just 2-5 ATS in the past 7 games after a cover.

Over/Under

OVER 227.5 (-110) is the lean in Game 4, but play it lightly.

The Over is 37-18-2 in the past 57 games on the road for the Warriors, while going 9-4 in the past 13 games following a straight-up loss of 10 or more points.

It’s all about the Over for the Lakers lately, cashing in 12 of the past 17 games overall, while going 10-2 in the past 12 after a win and 8-2 in the past 10 following a cover.

Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Lakers Game 3 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Lakers Game 3 odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Lakers welcome the Golden State Warriors to Crypto.com Arena Saturday for Game 3 of their Western Conference semifinals series. The series is tied 1-1. Tip is set for 8:30 p.m. ET (ABC). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Warriors vs. Lakers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Warriors beat the Lakers 127-100 Thursday, covering as a 7-point home favorite. G Klay Thompson scored 30 points and hit 8 threes in 31 minutes of action. Golden State evened the series up at one game apiece following a 117-112 loss in Game 1 on Tuesday. Golden State is 4-5 against the spread (ATS) in 9 postseason games.

The Lakers wasted a 14-point 1st quarter from superstar F LeBron James in Game 2. He ended with 23 points on 10-for-18 shooting. The Lakers are 5-3 ATS in their 8 postseason games and are 3-1 ATS at home, only failing to cover at home as 8.5-point favorites in a 108-102 play-in win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in the play-in tournament on April 11.

Warriors at Lakers picks and predictions

Prediction

Lakers 119, Warriors 111

Moneyline

AVOID.

The Warriors’ lackluster road play all throughout the regular season is cause for concern, and their +125 moneyline is bound to be a public darling.

The Lakers’ (-165) moneyline is too pricey.

Against the spread

BET LAKERS -3.5 (-105).

The Warriors have been bad on the road this season and were 2-2 ATS on the road in the 1st round. Golden State is a league-worst 13-31 ATS on the road this season, including the playoffs. It also has yet to cover back-to-back games in the postseason.

The Lakers have not suffered back-to-back ATS losses this postseason. They should have what it takes to bounce back Saturday — especially at home where they are 24-21 ATS.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 227.5 (-110).

The postseason totals for both teams are split down the middle, going a combined 9-9 O/U in their 18 postseason games. However, the season-long trends including the postseason point to the Over. Golden State is 49-39-3 O/U this season while LA is 48-43-0 O/U.

These teams also rank 2nd (Warriors) and 5th (Lakers) in pace in the postseason and 1st and 4th respectively in the regular season. They should push the ball and score effectively. Back the OVER 227.5 (-110).

Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Lakers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Lakers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Golden State Warriors (34-30) and Los Angeles Lakers (30-34) meet Sunday at Crypto.com Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Warriors vs. Lakers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Warriors covered the spread as 5-point home favorites Friday with a 108-99 win vs. the New Orleans Pelicans. G Klay Thompson scored 27 points as Golden State won its 5th straight game. The Warriors are 0-4-1 against the spread (ATS) in their last 5 road games.

G Stephen Curry (leg) is probable to return Sunday after missing the last 11 games.

The Lakers failed to cover as 1.5-point home underdogs Friday in a 110-102 loss vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves. C Anthony Davis finished with a game-high 38 points for the Lakers, who lost for just the 2nd time in their last 6 games. Los Angeles is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 home games vs. teams with a road winning percentage below .400.

The Lakers lead the season series 2-1 and the Over has gone 1-2. Los Angeles covered as a 6-point home favorite with a 124-111 win as the Under (239) cashed in the most recent meeting Feb. 23.

Prediction

Warriors 115, Lakers 114

Moneyline

PASS.

The Warriors (-200) should win, but their moneyline is a little inflated since Curry is returning to the lineup. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET LAKERS +5.5 (-118).

Golden State has looked great going 5-0 on its most recent homestand but now must reinsert Curry into the offense. The last time Curry returned from injury after missing 11 games, the Warriors lost straight up as 12.5-point home favorites 125-113 vs. a shorthanded Phoenix Suns team Jan. 10. To make matters worse for the Warriors, Golden State has lost 5 straight road games and is a league-worst 8-21 ATS on the road.

Los Angeles is 8-3 ATS in its last 11 games after a loss and should be able to at least keep it close vs. a Warriors team that struggles away from Chase Center.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 235.5 (-112).

The Under is 6-0 in Golden State’s last 6 games and 4-1-1 in Los Angeles’ last 6. The Under has hit in the last 2 meetings between these teams and is 4-0 in the Lakers’ last 4 home games. Los Angeles allows the 3rd-lowest 3-point percentage this season at 34.5% and should be able to limit Golden State offensively as the Under hits Sunday.

Warriors at Lakers picks and predictions

Prediction

Lakers 125, Warriors 117

Moneyline

AVOID.

Without Curry, the Warriors may struggle offensively. Against a team that made trade deadline deals to ensure a strong playoff push, pass on betting the moneyline underdog.

Against the spread

LEAN LAKERS -5.5 (-115).

The Warriors have played 10 road games without 2-time MVP Curry this season, and they have lost by 9 or more in 6 of those. The Lakers are also 2-1 ATS since the trade deadline and have a more athletic, offensively-gifted team with the addition of G D’Angelo Russell.

The Warriors rank 20th in defensive rating which could cause trouble for them. Golden State is also a league-worst 8-20 ATS on the road. Back the LAKERS -5.5 (-115).

Over/Under

BET OVER 238.5 (-112).

The Warriors have a struggling defense, and even without Curry, have the offensive firepower to score at will. These teams also rank 1st and 2nd in pace, so this should be played at a hectic tempo.

The Warriors have gone Over in 6 of their last 7 games as well while the Lakers have topped the projected total in 5 of their last 10. The teams are a combined 66-48 O/U on the season.

Back the OVER 238.5 (-112).

Warriors at Lakers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 113, Lakers 105

Money line

PASS on the money line because of the price unless you include it in a parlay. Both teams are struggling but the Warriors are clearly the superior team. Golden State has won both previous meetings between the two teams this season and is 9-1 against teams in the Pacific Division.

PLAY: Free, daily sports pick’em contests. Play now!

Against the spread

The Warriors have covered the spread only once in their last 10 games overall. They are 30-29-4 ATS overall and 13-15-2 ATS on the road.

The Lakers have failed to cover the spread in their last four games.

The Warriors have struggled without Green in the lineup but the Lakers won’t be able to exploit that without Davis.

Warriors at Lakers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Lakers 112, Warriors 109

Money line

“LEAN” to the LAKERS (-160) as a decent value on the money line.

The Lakers are a solid team, and their length could give Golden State issues. If they can throw the two Warriors guards off their game, they should be fine in terms of winning the game.

How the Warrios will be forced to handle Davis will impact things as well — if F Draymond Green slides to guard Davis, James should be able to abuse Wiggins in the post.

Ultimately, with the size all around, the Lakers should be able to give Golden State enough problems to at least win.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to the WARRIORS +3.5 (-110) as the Lakers are also going to have a lot of issues. Westbrook takes many shots and could control the offense when, in reality, they’ll want James and Davis making the plays.

Curry struggled to get going at the start of last season, but picked it up late, finishing as an MVP finalist. Expect him to pick up where he left off and be able to get the best of Westbrook.

The Warriors should be able to cover assuming he can get going. This is a better value, but it’s certainly a riskier one as well.

Over/Under

BET on the UNDER 226.5 (-110) as both teams could show some rust in their season opener. The Warriors averaged just over 113 points per game last year, 12th in the NBA.

The Lakers were worse, down to 109.5 points per game, good for the 22nd best in the league. While Westbrook was added, the Lakers should still want to slow the pace, especially with Davis and James.

Even if Curry can get 30 or 35 points, the Warriors would need production from players like Poole and Wiggins. Banking on that against a top-tier defense isn’t a great idea.

The Under is the best bet in this game.

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.
