Lakers at Warriors 2/2/19 - NBA Picks & Predictions

The Los Angeles Lakers look for a second straight victory on Saturday when they visit Oracle Arena to play the Golden State Warriors. The Lakers defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 123-120 in overtime on Thursday as LeBron James returned after missing 17 games. James led the Lakers with 24 points and 14 rebounds.

Stephen Curry is leading the Warriors in scoring with an average of 29.5 points per game, while Kevin Durant is second with an average of 27.6 points per game. Draymond Green leads the team in rebounding and assists with averages of 8.0 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game. As a team, Golden State is shooting 49.9% from the field and 38.7% from 3-point territory.

Golden State has won 11 of its last 12 straight up but has had trouble covering at home failing to cover 10 of its last 14 at Oracle Arena. The Lakers have covered the number in 4 of the last 5 on the road and 6 of the last 7 on the road versus an opponent with a home winning percentage of .600 or higher. Final Score Prediction, Golden State Warriors win but fall short ATS 121-112
