Result:
WIN

This is the lone road game for Golden State during a stretch of playing eight of nine at home. In the last three games they knocked off Oklahoma City twice and beat a good Eastern Conference team (Hawks), so are they really going to get up for this one, stepping way down in class? Golden State was challenged in each of its last three games, but found a way to pull all of them out, including a 121-106 win at home over Oklahoma City on Thursday in which they outscored the Thunder 39-23 in the fourth quarter. Golden State is on a 3-7 spread run, plus 4-11 ATS against a team with a losing home record. The mostly young Lakers will be up for this one with the defending champs in town. It's Kobe Bryant's last season, and the play of rookie guard D'Angelo Russell, and Julius Randle, have been impressive of late. Russell has scored 20 or more points in four of five, while Randle recorded a double-double in five of eight games since the All-Star break. Los Angeles is on an 8-5 spread run, and this game means far more to the big home dog than the visitors. Play the Lakers.
