No team has taken a bigger injury hit to their offense than the Lakers, who are without Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. They are LA's top two scores. Doncic averages 33.5 points a game. That leads the NBA. Reaves averages 23.3 points a game. Doncic also leads the Lakers in assists, while Reaves is third on the team. The Warriors are all but locked into the 10th playoff seed in the Western Conference. They are managing the minutes of recently returned Stephen Curry. Golden State barely escaped 21-59 Sacramento in its last game two days ago, winning 110-105 as a 15.5-point home favorite. The 27th-defensively ranked Kings surrender 121 points per game, yet the Warriors could manage only 110. Even though Curry is back, the Warriors are without Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody for the season. They were averaging a combined 32 points a game. Golden State also won't have Kristaps Porzingis due to illness. He is averaging 17 points on the season. Take the UNDER.
