The Warriors are 17-38-1 ATS in their last 56 road games and 35-15-1 ATS in their last 51 Friday games. The Lakers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Friday games. The under is 4-1 in Warriors last 5 road games. The over is 13-6 in Lakers last 19 overall. The Warriors are 0-5 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Los Angeles and 2-6 ATS in the last 8 meetings.
The Los Angeles Lakers re going to be favored because they're at home, but the Warriors have been in every game this series and a bounce here or a bounce there, they're the ones leading this series. I said in my game 5 write up that I didn't believe the Warriors were dead. The Warriors are coming off probably their best showing of the series and Poole showed flashes of breaking out of this funk, which will be key here. The Warriors have outright won 8 of their last 15 playoff games as underdogs. I'll take a shot with the free bucket and the road team.
