Golden State at Los Angeles

Premium Pick

Anthony Davis and LeBron James are listed as questionable and probable, respectively, but it's hard to believe that either won't be in the lineup for this play-in game. Los Angeles is learning to win with or without them and it's currently on a five-game winning streak. That extra confidence will go a long way as both superstars join their teammates in the playoffs. The Lakers beat New Orleans 110-98 on Sunday when James scored 25 points and Davis added 14 points. Andre Drummond, a late addition to the team after James was injured, contributed 13 points and 13 rebounds. The Warriors have won six straight themselves, but have lost the last two meetings by an average of 28.5 points and they are 2-7 ATS their past nine as road underdogs. For my second Max Play, take the Lakers.
