Premium Pick

Golden State will carry the momentum of winning four of five to beat Sacramento in the conference quarterfinal and the Warriors get the first two games at home after Stephen Curry put on a spectacular performance in Game 7 scoring 50 points on Sunday. Los Angeles has had a three-day layoff after trouncing Memphis by 40 points on Friday and the Lakers have gone UNDER four of their past five games. The Warriors went UNDER their last two with the Kings by an average of 14 points. Golden State is 28-15-1 ATS at home this season and 40-18-1 ATS dating to last season, and the Lakers are 20-24 ATS on the road. As usual, LeBron James and Anthony Davis are listed as probable with foot injuries, but that is getting to be just a formality as both will play. Los Angeles is 1-4 ATS its past five road games and 2-5 ATS following a win. The Warriors are 10-4-1 UNDER their past 15 home contests. Take the Warriors (Max Play), and play the first half UNDER.
