The Lakers are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 Thursday games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest.

The Lakers are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Golden State and 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
The Los Angeles Lakers have nothing to play for at this point, and they're a veteran team that probably just wants this disappointing season to end. The Lakers are also losing their last five games by an average of 11.2 points. The Golden State Warriors are rested for the most part, they win at home by an average of 9.7 points, and they have reason to get the job done here as they're fighting to hold that third seed in the West. Massive number, but the Lakers are a joke. It's Warriors or pass for me.
