NBA Betting Trends

Golden State

The Warriors are 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 games overall. Golden State is 0-6 ATS in its last six Wednesday games.

Los Angeles

The Warriors are 5-0 ATS in their last five games versus the Western Conference. Los Angeles is 6-1 ATS in its last seven home games.

Prediction:

The Lakers are on a back-to-back and Davis is banged up, so this is not as much of a sure thing as it first feels like. Draymond Green is back in the lineup and Russell can keep his squad in any game with his perimeter shooting. I'm going to bite here and say Golden State keeps it competitive against a fatigued Lakers group.
