Everyone is concerned about Stephen Curry in this game. But the Warriors need to be concerned about who is going to box out Anthony Davis and Andre Drummond. Expect the Lakers' big men to have their way and get easy bucket after easy bucket. The Lakers will lock down enough to cover the spread, so lay the points in this game.
The Golden State Warriors snuck into the playoffs behind the torrid late-season run from Steph Curry. They’ll face an Lakers team that is essentially not a true No. 7 seed. Yet, look for the Warriors to continue riding the momentum from the end of the regular season, and get the first cover in the playoffs for an underdog.
One can't ever count out Steph Curry winning a game on his own, but I don't see a path otherwise for the Dubs winning on the road Wednesday with the Lakers at full strength. I'm surprised the spread/moneyline isn't bigger. Never bet against LeBron James in a must-win game. Golden State remains without starting swingman Kelly Oubre Jr. and perhaps two reserves.
