Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Lakers Injury Report

The Lakers will be without Adou Thiero and Luka Doncic. Luke Kennard is questionable.

The Warriors will be without Jimmy Butler, Seth Curry, Stephen Curry, Kristaps Porzingis, L.J. Cryer, and Jimmy Butler.

Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction

Things even out a little with Luka being out, but the Lakers are still in better shape. The Warriors weren’t good at full strength; they’re even worse with no Curry, Jimmy, or even Porzingis, who they just snagged in a trade. The Lakers are 7-3 SU and ATS in their last 10 games, and they have to take advantage of spots like this if they’re going to avoid the play-in tournament. The line isn’t large enough to consider the banged-up Warriors. Give me the Lakers and the small number.
