Lakers vs Golden state

Here’s where you’d expect a break from recent history: Both the Warriors and Lakers have gone over the over in each of their previous three meetings this season, but that was by total lines of 220, 220.5 and 226.5 points. Both teams here have high-scoring wins against the Grizzlies in recent history, but the Grizzlies lead the league in possessions per game; as a result, they have the second-highest scoring offense and sixth-worst defense in the NBA. The Warriors and Lakers are much more average in terms of pace, and the Lakers’ most recent game was a much more modest 104-98 win over the Rockets. Prior to their last two meetings against the Grizzlies and Spurs, the Warriors had scored 115 points or fewer in six of their last seven games.
