LA is surging with 4 wins out of 5 while Golden State is in a tailspin (4 straight losses and 10 of 13). What is it about the Warriors and January anyway? Including this year's absysmal record, they are just 3-16 ATS during this month over the past two seasons. Teams this cold (failed to cover the spread in 8 or more of their last 10) playing at home and well rested (6 or less games in 14 days) are just 8-30 ATS when the spread is +3 to -3 since 1996. The Lakers are scoring 106 per game over their last five games while Golden State is giving up 103 per game over that same span. I like the Lakers to take this one. Two stars on Kobe and LA.
