The Lakers are 4-1 against the spread in their last five games overall.
Betting on the Golden State Warriors (-5.5)
Regular Season Record: 44-38
There’s no need to hit the panic button just yet for the Warriors, who got 27 points from Stephen Curry in Game 1. The Warriors also lost the series opener in the first round versus the Sacramento Kings, so their recent defeat at the hands of LeBron James and company was definitely something they can move on completely and overcome. Golden State is putting up 115.4 points per game in the playoffs. Over their last 10 games, the Warriors have averaged 115.7 points, 49.8 rebounds, 25.2 assists, 6.0 steals, and 8.1 blocks while making 47.3 percent from the field. The Warriors are 5-5 against the spread in their last 10 games as the home team.

The Warriors win, 121-117.
