The Lakers are in a prime position to cover -4 on the road against the Warriors tonight. Golden State will be without Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler, removing their primary shot creator and a key two-way wing from the lineup. That absence dramatically shrinks the Warriors’ offensive ceiling and late-game execution.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles has the size advantage inside and multiple perimeter scorers capable of exploiting mismatches. If the Lakers control the glass and push tempo, they should create consistent separation and secure a comfortable win. Depth and defense will ultimately seal the cover tonight.
