The Los Angeles Lakers odds are not in their favor ahead of game 5, but it’s for good measure. The NBA schedule puts them in Golden State, a tough place to win games. The crowd is not quite what it was when the team was playing at Oracle Arena, but they have continued to run through the opposition when there. It’s been the norm for them to do so. LA has been a solid road team this postseason though, the NBA player stats continuing to be solid away from Crypto.com Arena.
As for any Golden State Warriors picks, it may be a safe decision to use them today. The NBA playoffs odds will be pretty good, as the NBA team state have continued to be good enough. Stephen Curry has never made a tying or go-ahead shot in his playoff career, now 0-14 in the situation after game 4. Perhaps it makes a little more sense now as to why Jordan Poole let it fly in the series opener from way downtown.

Recent Scores for Last Game
The last contest in this series was an absolute thriller. If you had Lonnie Walker IV scoring all (15) of his points in the fourth quarter and helping the Lakers to ice the game, that’s going to be a big prize pack. NBA odds would have been against that, but Darvin Ham trusted him. His first year with the Lakers has seen him benched a lot, but Walker came through in the biggest moments of the season, as all great role players are able to do. The team won by five, and likely would have seen this series move into a 2-2 tie if he didn’t step up and make plays as he did.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors Analysis
This series has been hard-fought, but it has been clear that one team is currently better than the other. The individual NBA matchups in the series have been fun to track, watching the battles and rotational changes. Gary Payton II got sick prior to the end of game 4, so him not being able to close certainly had the team switching up. It is also clear that those outside the rotation have been bitter about their playing time, speaking more to internal strife, if anything.
As for the Lakers, no complaints there. Mo Bamba has barely touched the floor here. Malik Beasley isn’t even in. The only midseason additions that have been playing have been Rui Hachimura, Jarred Vanderbilt, and D’Angelo Russell. And they have all been fine. There’s a reason both coaches have been making the moves and decisions that they have. And a failure of anyone to accept it is also a failure to buy into the culture. That leads to losing basketball.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors Betting Pick and Prediction
Warriors -7: Going against Golden State in a do-or-die game on their home floor would be foolish. The team has been down 3-1 on a single occasion, and they rallied to knock off the Thunder when that happened. It would lead to Kevin Durant joining the team for a few years and winning a couple of titles, too. They will not be knocked out in Golden State. This series has a sixth game written all over it.
Under 227: Make sure to ride with the under. The scoring won’t be as high as folks think. Defensive adjustments will win this game for the Warriors, and they will limit Anthony Davis and the Lakers.
