Golden State Warriors v Los Angeles Lakers



16th March 02:35 GMT

Lakers will try to continue their wins and extend their run to four at least in the next 48 hours playing GSW and Kings B2B and I believe they will do it. They are probably the hungriest team in the top right now, since they lost three in a row just a week ago and so Cleveland pulled away while Dallas, Denver and Orlando came dangerously close.

Lakers have covered 4 of the last 5 games in Oakland, losing the only ATS game by a point (won by 8, line was 9). Lakers demolished the Warriors 130 - 97 in the only game they played in Oakland this year and 7 Lakers players scored in double figures, while Odom scored only 8 points, but took 10 rebounds. I see really no reason for Lakers to play cat and mouse here. If they were on a 10 game winning streak, they would have enjoyed a close game, but now they try to bring back the respect they lost this season. Golden State are on a nice run of 4 - 1 ATS for the last 5 games and have been decent and even won their last match. But, you can see that they hardly played teams that are equal to the size and talent that Lakers have in the paint and the only two times they played similar teams. They were Orlando and Denver; they lost by 27 points to Orlando on the road and 15 to Denver at home. 121 - 103 is my projected score here.
