T.M. Selection: Warriors/Lakers UNDER.

I am on the under in the Golden State Warriors vs LA Lakers game on Saturday. The Warriors haven't looked good in their games lately and they have lost 3 games in a row. They have been losing a lot lately and their issues stretch back even further than their previous 3 games. They have been dealing with a lot of injuries to their key players and Klay Thompson has had some issues with his shooting lately. The absence of Draymond Green has heavily impacted their games too and I think this is going to be a game where others start to step up on defense. They need to stop the bleeding with a win and the only way to do that with how they have been playing is by playing some good defense and forcing turnovers in this game. Luckily, the Lakers have also been dealing with their own injuries and issues, and they will also be shorthanded in this game. The Lakers have lost 4 games in a row now but they haven't put up more than 111 points in their previous 5 games. They are still missing Anthony Davis in this game and I think without him in their rotation, this is a very vulnerable lineup that Russell Westbrook and LeBron James can't carry on their own. The Lakers have been letting the opposing teams they face run away with the games lately and they have been giving up a ton of points too. I think they are looking to stop the bleeding too and I expect both teams to give a better defensive effort in this game, especially the Lakers knowing they are going up against the 2nd place team in the league. I think this is going to be a lower scoring game so I like the under here.

T.M. Prediction: 109-103 Warriors.
