The Warriors are coming into this game with a 34-31 record this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games with their only win in that span coming against the Spurs who have been one of the worst teams in the league this season. They have been slightly better on the road this season but recently they have not been as good, losing 2 of their last 3 games on the road and getting blown out by 20+ points in both of those games against the Mavericks and the Celtics. The Warriors are also missing Steph Curry in this game which has been a big issue for them in this span of losing games, struggling to beat much better teams in the league without him. They are going up against a Lakers team that is 36-31 this season and they have been playing much better in their recent games. They have won 2 of their last 3 games as well as 3 of their last 5 and they are coming off of a 10+ point loss on the road against the Kings in their last game so they are going to be hungry to bounce back as they have been sitting on that loss since Wednesday. They have also been a very dominant team at home this season as they are 24-11 there and have won 3 of their last 4 as well as 7 of their last 9 games there. This is also a revenge spot for the Lakers since they lost to the Warriors on the road back in February, losing by close to 20 points in that game so they are going to be hungry to get that back as they take advantage of the Warriors without Curry. The Lakers will cover the spread in this game.
