Lakers vs Warriors Prediction

The Warriors are coming off two nice road wins and three straight covers, but I’m still backing the Lakers on Friday night. I’ve said since the start of the season that the Warriors are one of the worst rosters in the league. I’m going to need to see more to change my mind.

The Lakers look fantastic on the offensive side, and theyve already snagged a pair of road wins. The Lakers also beat the Warriors by 22 points nine days ago. The Luka – Lendeborg beef will be fun to watch, but I’m rolling with the Lakers to beat Golden State for the second time this season.
