Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors: Current situation
With 17 wins in 20 home games, the Lakers have cemented themselves as one of the top tier home teams in the NBA. Securing home court advantage in the first round is a priority for the Lakers, that should make their lives a bit easier if they match-up against a Memphis Grizzlies team for example. This team is on a run of 10 straight covers against teams from the Western Conference.
Golden State has lost just 4 of 20 games which makes them one of the better teams in the NBA as the regular season nears it’s end. On the road this team is 9-3 SU over the past 12 games, so they won’t mind finishing outside the top 4 in the Western Conference which would mean their first 2 games in the 1st round would be on the road. Jonathan Kuminga recently returned from injury, his athleticism is exactly what this team is lacking.
Los Angeles Lakers Stats & Form
After scoring 134 points on the Grizzlies, the Lakers went back home and took care of business against the Rockets 104-98 to win their 3rd game in 4 outings. It wasn’t the prettiest of games to watch, but the Lakers were able to get the job done on the defensive end despite shooting just 39% from the field. However, there are some things that need cleaning up. They lost the rebounding battle by 6 boards, they cannot afford to do that in Thursday’s game.
Golden State Warriors Stats & Form
Stephen Curry turned back the clock once again and dropped 52 points, including 10 threes as his Warriors beat the Memphis Grizzlies 134-125. It might turn out to be a crucial win for Golden State as they leap over the Grizzlies in the standings for the 5th seed. They’ve now won 3 games in a row, with their offense clicking on all cylinders. Against Western Conference teams they’ve now won 8 of their last 9 games.
Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors: Head-to-Head
Golden State won the regular season series last year 3-1, but the Lakers have dominated this match-up winning all 3 meetings this season. A lot has changed since the last time the two teams met, LeBron James had a 42 point explosion in the game played in early February at Crypto.com Arena.
Los Angeles Lakers – Golden State Warriors Odds
Backing the Lakers gets you 4/5 odds here, while if you like the Warriors you can get odds of 7/5 for a road victory.
The point total has been set at 223.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors (03.04.2025)
Although they’ve been the more in-form team overall, the Warriors have had their fair share of struggles against the Lakers recently. They’ve won just 5 of the last 11 meetings, covering the spread in 5 of those games. The addition of Jimmy Butler certainly helps them, he has opened up the floor for Stephen Curry which is one of the main reasons why he dropped 52 points on the Grizzlies in his last game. Butler’s defense on Luka Doncic could very well determine the outcome of this game, the Warriors will be full of optimism going into this game after posting back-to-back games with 20+ threes. The Lakers are normally one of the better teams when it comes to defending the perimeter, but over the past 3 games they’re allowing opponents to shoot 39.8% from three-point land, that is a definite red flag going into a game against Curry and his Warriors. Another area where the Warriors could have the advantage in is the rebounding department. They’re 3rd in the NBA averaging 54.5 rebounds per game, that’s gone up to 56.7 per game in their last 3 outings. LA issues at the center position are well documented, they did that trade for Mark Williams for a reason, we’re still seeing the consequences of it being rescinded. LA’s only hope here is if Luka Doncic goes off and has a monster game. That is a real possibility with the Slovenian averaging 31.4 points, 10.8 rebounds and 10.6 assists per game in the last 5 meetings. However, we feel like the Warriors are the more in-form team and they should be able to get the win here and avoid getting swept in the regular season series. Back the road team.
