Result:
LOSS

Golden State is on a 26-10 ATS run and the Warriors are 10-2 ATS on the road against a team with a losing home record. LA is just 3-10 straight-up at home and plays no defense at #30 in points allowed, surrendering a whopping 109.2 points per game. The Lakers are 5-11-2 ATS in their last 18 home games. While LA is in last place, Golden State is in first place in the West, third in points scored in the NBA, plus 9th in points allowed. The Warriors rank among the league leaders in scoring average (107.5), field-goal percentage (48.0%) and points in the paint per game (45.9) during the best start in team history. After their team-record 16-game winning streak ended Tuesday in Memphis, they bounced back Thursday by shooting 51.1% and outscoring Oklahoma City 52-36 in the paint to rally from a 17-point deficit in a 114-109 home win. The Warriors are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings in Los Angeles too. Lay the points on Golden State.
