Warriors vs Lakers Spread Pick

  • Take the Lakers to cover (5 units)

It’s unclear weather Golden State’s Steph Curry or Los Angeles’ Luka Doncic will miss this game due to injury. Curry did not play in their last game, while Doncic left the team’s last game with a leg injury. No matter what, the Lakers are in form winning five of their last seven games with injuries to their star players. They have found ways to win and with a healthy Austin Reeves, the Lakers will be able to secure another win. The Warriors have lost three of their last five games and they are just 10-14 against the spread with equal rest as their opponents. The Lakers are 17-11 against the spread on one day of rest.

Take the Lakers to cover. 

Warriors vs Lakers Over/Under Pick

  • Take the over (5 units)

The Warriors rank 14th in pace, while the Lakers come in slated 25th in the league. Despite not playing too fast, the offense for both teams can churn out points.
