Golden State Warriors vs LA Lakers Prediction
The Golden State Warriors remain undermanned and that's even more the case now as they don't have Andrew Wiggins and I doubt Jimmy Butler will be cleared. The Warriors are also on the end of back-to-back and just lost to the Jazz. The Warriors had a 10-point lead with less than three minutes left and lost. Just disgusting, and it can be tough to get off the canvas. The Lakers have won seven of their last eight games, and they're 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight games. The Lakers have won and covered two games against the Warriors since Christmas. I'll roll with the Lakers. Give me the chalk on Thursday night.
