Two of the teams that made big moves at the trade deadline – the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers – square off on Thursday night, with some of their new star players not quite ready to join in the action. Still, even without Jimmy Butler (Golden State) and Luka Doncic (Los Angeles), this game has plenty of star power with the presences of Stephen Curry and LeBron James.
BetUS Sportsbook has the host Lakers favored in the third matchup of the season between these division rivals but let’s take a closer look at the game and all of the potential wagers you should be making.
Warriors vs Lakers Prediction
Lakers 121, Warriors 106
The Lakers are riding high, winning three straight, including a 122-97 rout of the LA Clippers on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Golden State just blew a late double-digit lead in losing on Wednesday night to Utah. The Warriors are playing the second of a back-to-back with a shortened rotation due to the trade for Butler made on Wednesday, so the Warriors vs Lakers betting lines are taking that into account in heavily favoring Los Angeles, and so are we.

Warriors vs Lakers Best 3 NBA Player Props Today
1. Lakers G Austin Reaves Over 34.5 Pts+Reb+Ast (-112)
While the Lakers have been led by the all-around game of James over their current hot streak, Reaves has been right up there in overall stats as well. He’s coming off 35 combined points, rebounds and assists against the Clippers and a combo of 38 in a win over the Knicks on Saturday night. We like those numbers to continue against the Warriors, making him one of our top NBA Bets for this game.
Bet on Austin Reaves Over 34.5 Pts+Rebs+Ast (-112)
2. Warriors G Brandin Podziemski Over 1.5 3-Pointers Made (-157)
The Warriors are in need of offensive punch, and with the roster limited due to injuries and the Butler trade, Brandin Podziemski is going to get his chances to score. He took advantage of it on Wednesday night, scoring a career-high 29 points.

Podziemski is an Energizer Bunny on the floor, and he’ll get his looks from beyond the arc in this one. He’s made two or more 3-pointers in six of the last seven games, per Warriors vs Lakers stats, and we like him to do it again against Los Angeles.
3. Lakers F LeBron James Over 8.5 Rebounds (-114)
With Anthony Davis now with the Dallas Mavericks and Mark Williams yet to arrive to the Lakers after being traded from Charlotte on Wednesday, James has to play a bigger role on the glass. Not that he hasn’t all season, but he’s been more physical and getting to the boards more of late.
He’s averaging 10.2 rebounds over the last four games, and he’s facing a tired Warriors squad in this one. Take him over 8.5 rebounds for one of your winning NBA prop bets in this one.
Warriors vs Lakers Moneyline Pick
Los Angeles is looking like a championship contender,and Doncic hasn’t even hit the floor yet. The Lakers have a ton of momentum and have won seven of eight, including a 10-point win at Golden State on Jan. 25.
This is their first true home game in two weeks, though Tuesday’s matchup with the Clippers was at Crypto.com Arena. Golden State is shorthanded and coming off a tough loss on Wednesday night. It’s hard to see the Warriors even being competitive in this one.
Warriors vs Lakers Spread Pick
Doncic is listed as a game-time decision for this one, but his likely Lakers debut is Saturday vs the Pacers. Still, even without the star guard, Los Angeles is feeling very good and looking just as good on the floor.
The 25-point spread against the Clippers doesn’t indicate how dominant the Lakers were in that one, and they were underdogs for that contest. Give the points and make the Lakers ATS one of your NBA predictions for Thursday night.
Warriors vs Lakers Over/Under Pick
This is the third matchup this season between these teams, with Los Angeles winning the first two. The total in each of those victories went over 222, and that trend should continue on Thursday. Curry and the Warriors will keep bombing away from long range, even when down, helping to push this game over 222. Make sure you bet online on the over.
