The Lakers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Conference Semifinals games. The Warriors are 40-18-1 ATS in their last 59 home games and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 Conference Semifinals games. The under is 4-1 in Lakers last 5 overall. The under is 10-4-1 in Warriors last 15 home games. The Lakers are 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
The Los Angeles Lakers played with a sense of urgency in their road opener against the Grizzlies, and you'd expect them to do the same here. The Lakers are the more rested side, having not played since Friday, and they're an experienced group that knows the importance of stealing home court as soon as possible. The Golden State Warriors are jumping right back into another series after 7 games with the Kings and Curry, Klay and Draymond are logging heavy minutes. Curry's 273.8 minutes are the most of any player in these playoffs right now. A rested LeBron and AD will have their chances. I expect a tight game. Give me the points.
