Los Angeles at Golden State

Premium Pick

The LA Lakers had a big measuring stick game vs. the Boston Celtics at home their last time out. They came away in blowout fashion 117-96. The Lakers are 24-18 on the season, and this could be a huge letdown spot after playing their best game of the season vs. last year's NBA Champions. Golden St. is just 22-22 on the season and currently not even in the play-in round at #11 in the West. That may sound bad, but the Lakers, at 24-18, only lead them by three games, and a win tonight drops that to two. The Warriors offense has always given LA fits, and Golden St. is averaging just shy of 130ppg in the last five meetings and has won three of the previous four. Make the play on Golden St.
