Command Analysis
Golden State Warriors
USACurrent form
Steve Kerr team is having an extremely unstable season. Throughout the championship, the Warriors have been fighting for a place in the play-in zone, but frequent losses prevent them from securing a place in the top ten. Despite the talent pool, the team play is far from optimal, and the main question is who, besides Curry, can carry the team in difficult moments.
In the last match, Golden State confidently dealt with Chicago (131:106). Curry was again the leader and scored 21 points, and also actively helped his partners. However, before that, the team made some mistakes, losing to Sacramento (117:123) and Boston (85:125). Ahead is a meeting with the Lakers, where the home court factor will play an important role - this season the Warriors are performing more confidently in San Francisco.
Disqualifications and injuries
Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga will not play in the next game due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The last seven head-to-head matches have ended in Golden State favor.
Probable lineup: Wiggins - Payton, Jackson-Davis - Curry, Hield.
LA Lakers
USACurrent form
After a series of setbacks, the Lakers have managed to regain their good form and secure a place in the top 6 of the Western Conference. The team has found a balance between offense and defense, and LeBron James continues to prove that he is still one of the best players in the league.
In the last matches, JJ Redick team achieved two confident victories - over Washington (111:88) and sensationally beat Boston (117:96). One of the main factors of success was the improvement of defense, as well as the stable play of Anthony Davis, who is gaining excellent form.
However, the Lakers' biggest weakness this season is their lack of confidence on the road. The Los Angeles team has problems when they travel outside their home stadium. They will face a tough test in the upcoming match in San Francisco against Golden State and Stephen Curry.
Disqualifications and injuries
The team approaches the meeting with an optimal composition.
Interesting facts for betting
In their last five matches, the Lakers have lost only once.
Probable lineup: Hachimura - James, Davis - Reeves, Crystal.

1.96Tip and bets
Against the Lakers, Golden State doesn't look so confident. Recently, Steve Kerr team has been losing points often and can't find stability. However, the Warriors have an important factor on their side - their home court, where they traditionally play better. In addition, they have quite good results in face-to-face meetings with the Lakers.
The Lakers are in better shape and want to secure a spot in the West top 6. LeBron James is going to San Francisco only for a win, and his team is ready to put up a fight. However, Golden State also understands that losing in this situation is not an option, especially at home.
We think the Lakers will be able to take advantage of the Warriors' inconsistency and win, but the match promises to be tough.
Our prediction is a Lakers win with overtime at 1.80
Bet on total
In matches of this level, teams often act cautiously, trying to minimize mistakes. Both sides are more interested in the final result than in the show for the spectators. We assume that the game will be less productive than expected, and the total will not be hit.
Betting Tip - total under 221.5 points for 1.71
Bet on statistics
The Lakers will probably do everything possible to limit the influence of Stephen Curry. Without their leader, Golden State looks less confident in attack, and if the Lakers' defense plays at its level, the hosts may have serious problems with scoring. We assume that the Warriors will not be able to break the individual total, as they will face a strong defense of the opponent.
Prediction - Golden State individual total under 109.5 points for 1.92
