According to OddsShark.com the Warriors are five and a half point favorites on the road. The associated moneylines for the game are Los Angeles +200 and Golden State -220. This game’s over/under comes in at a combined 217.5 points.
Despite being down both Steph Curry and Draymond Green, the Warriors and the points are the clear answer here. The Lakers are a young team that may be able to ride the emotional high of Kobe Bryant being in the building but not enough to overcome this Golden State team.
