Parlay odds: +1149
Golden State Warriors 1-10 win margin (+170)
Golden State has cooled off a bit and the Warriors are coming into tonight’s game after consecutive defeats at Utah and against New York at home. The loss to the Knicks hurt in particular as they were 9.5-point favorites for that game, but just couldn’t get it done. Luckily for them, they have a chance to turn things around against a weak Lakers team who have dropped 3 of their last 4 games and are coming off a loss against a Portland team missing Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum and Norman Powell. The Warriors are 9-2 SU in their last 11 games and they’ve won 6 of the last 7 at home. They also beat the Lakers 121-114 in what was the first game of the season for both teams.
Klay Thompson 5+ made threes (+410)
Klay Thompson missed the season-opener through injury and since his return to action a month ago there are signs he’s slowly getting back into form. Over his last 7 games he is making 3.5 threes per game on 8 attempts while shooting 43%. He is the team’s 3rd-leading scorer behind Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins. Just 2 games ago he had a hot shooting night with 7 threes made against Sacramento. This guy is capable of exploding at any given moment and against a Lakers team which is fairly mediocre at defending the perimeter, there’s a good chance he will go off again. LA’s opponents are making 34.5% of their shots from 3-point land this season. In his last 7 games against the Lakers he has made 28 threes, which comes out to 4 per game, making the odds on this bet just too good to pass up.
