NBA Best Bet - Golden State Warriors vs. Los Angeles Lakers Over 229.5
(NBA) Warriors (GSW) vs. Lakers (LAL),
Total: 229.50 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
There is a lot at stake in this contest between Pacific Division foes. The Lakers hold a two-game lead for the top spot in the division with seven games to play and the teams currently sit third and fifth in the Western Conference playoff picture. Each of these teams have gone over the number in four of their last six games entering this one. The Lakers look to have all hands on deck here while the Warriors hope to have Jonathan Kuminga (pelvis) back in the mix: he's questionable for this contest. We've seen each of the last five meetings and eight of the last 10 contests between the teams go over the total. With Stephen Curry and LeBron going head-to-head, look for the intensity dial to be turned up to 11. With that comes points, and that pushes this one over the number.
