The current betting odds have the Lakers listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Lakers have looked really good in their games this season with their 31-19 record overall which has them in the top half of the West. They have looked good on their home court too with their 13-8 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Warriors have looked good in their games this season with their 28-24 record overall which has them right in the middle of the West. They haven't been a great road team though with their 11-15 road record this year. The Warriors are off a road win over the Suns in their last one and they were able to pull off a really nice comeback win late even though they were shorthanded, but the current situation of the Warriors has them in trouble going forward. They have been getting by lately, but they are still only 5-5 in their last 10 games and have been struggling without their stars in the lineup. They already lost Jimmy Butler for the season which was a huge blow, but now they are missing Steph Curry too as he deals with an injury. The Warriors don't have the talent right now to compete with a team like the Lakers, even if Curry does play in this game. The Lakers are off a win over the 76ers in their last one and they have been rolling in their games lately. They are 7-3 in their last 10 games and have some momentum on their side now with 2 wins in a row. They have been getting healthier too and that has helped them improve on the court lately. Look for the Lakers to take advantage of a really banged up Warriors team and stay hot at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Lakers to cover the spread in this game.
