Los Angeles got the win it needed in Game 1 to regain home-court advantage and as in the Memphis series, the Lakers are likely heading for a letdown in Game 2 against the Warriors. Golden State had just came off a grueling seven-game series against Sacramento that could have contributed to their showing on Tuesday night. Golden State will look to improve on their shooting numbers after making just 41 percent overall in Game 1. They also attempted just six free throws (made five) after averaging 20.4 on the season. The Lakers went only 6-for-25 from 3-point range and still managed to pull out a victory although they won't be so fortunate tonight. The Warriors have covered five of six following a loss and they still are 28-16-1 ATS at home this season. Take the Warriors for the win and cover - Max Play
