Golden State Warriors
The Warriors are hot right now winning their last 3 games. The latest was a 134-125 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. Stephen Curry knocked down 12 of 20 three point attempts and finished with 52 points. He also added 10 rebounds, 8 assists, and 5 steals. Jimmy Butler added 27 points. Thursday night will be the Warriors 6th straight road game.
Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers have won their last 2 games and 3 of their last 4. The latest was a hard fought 104-98 victory over the Houston Rockets on Monday night. Luka Doncic led the team with 20 points and 9 assists, while going 1 for 7 from behind the arc. Lebron James added 16 points and 8 rebounds. Austin Reaves had a slow night with just 12 points. The Lakers bench came up huge, as Dorian Finney-Smith and Gabe Vincent each made 6 three pointers for 20 points. LeBron is listed as day-to-day but is likely to play on Thursday night.
Warriors vs. Lakers Betting Trends
Golden State is 2-3-1 ATS in their last 6 games

Los Angeles is 3-1 ATS in their last 4 games
The OVER is 4-2 in Los Angeles’ last 6 games
Warriors vs. Lakers Prediction:
Take the over in this matchup. The total has gone over the number in 8 of the last 10 head-to-head matchups including the last five meetings and all three this season. Each team has also hit the over in four of their last 6 games. The Warriors are lighting up the scoreboard dropping 134 and 148 points in their last two games. Also I think the Lakers are due for a bounce back game of sorts. Although they won, the big 3 for the Lakers (Doncic, James, Reaves) combined for just 48 points and the starting 5 combined for 4 of 20 from three against the Rockets. They can’t repeat that same performance on Thursday night. I think both teams will be able to score and this one hits the over.
Warriors vs. Lakers Prediction: Over 229.5
