Golden State at Los Angeles

Golden State has turned on the defensive intensity during this five-game winning streak allowing an average of 100 points. The defense is 11th in the NBA in field goal shooting allowed and the offense is still without injured star Stephen Curry (leg injury). The Warriors are on a 7-2 run UNDER the total, plus 13-4 UNDER against teams that allow 116+ points per game. The Lakers are missing a star offensive player of their own as LeBron James (foot) is out for three more weeks. The Los Angeles defense is 12th in the league in field goal shooting allowed, plus third at defending beyond the arc. The Lakers are on a 6-2-1 run UNDER the total, as well as 29-14 UNDER when playing six or fewer games in 14 days. This will be the third meeting between these teams over the last month and the first two went UNDER in finals of 124-111 and 109-103. Take Golden State/Los Angeles UNDER the total.
