Ryan Dodson | Staff Writer

The Los Angeles Lakers(30-26) take on the Golden State Warriors (27-26) Thursday with tip-off from Chase Center set for 10 p.m. ET (TNT). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Lakers vs. Warriors odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Lakers lead 1-0

The Lakers come into this one after having won their final 3 before the All-Star break. Speaking of the break, F LeBron James apparently needs another day of vacation as he has been ruled out for this one. The Lakers won 145-144 in overtime in this building Jan. 27.

The Dubs won 6 of 7 before the stoppage as they really looked to have hit their stride. F Jonathan Kuminga has flashed All-Star potential with 18.9 PPG and 5.3 RPG in 9 games this month. G Stephen Curry went for 25+ in 6 of the last 8 games -- including 41, 42 and 60 spots.

Lakers at Warriors and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 121, Lakers 110

Moneyline

There's no chance we're dropping 2½ times our return on the Warriors here.

If you have BetMGM's SGP Insurance token available, or even if you don't, here's a pretty conservative but viable parlay option. WARRIORS -4.5 + STEPHEN CURRY 20 POINTS + JONATHAN KUMINGA 12 POINTS (+100).

If you're curious, Kuminga has 12+ points in his last 18 games.

Against the spread

If you're not interested in the above parlay and want to stick to the spread, you can do that as well. Aside from the early season loss, the Warriors beat the Lakers by 15 and 27 in the last 2 meetings at Chase.

Take the WARRIORS -5.5 (-115).

Over/Under

This number stands out, and it went up a point in the process of writing this. In the last 10 matchups, this is the 2nd-highest total. Throw out the overtime game earlier this season, and the previous 2 matchups at Chase went for 227 each.

Take the UNDER 242.5 (-110).
