Lakers vs. Warriors Predictions
We have a few key players on the injury report for this game. Andrew Wiggins of the Warriors is questionable with a rib fracture. Reports suggest that he’s optimistic to play on Friday, but we’ll need to see if he’s hindered by the injury at all.
Meanwhile, Lakers big man Anthony Davis left Game 5 early with a head injury, but he’s expected to play without limitations in Game 6.

The Warriors are facing elimination for the second straight game. This time it’s on the road, where they have struggled this season. Throw in the injury situation for Wiggins, and this could be an uphill climb for Golden State.
Then again, Stephen Curry got the job done on the road against the Sacramento Kings last round in Game 7. It’s difficult to count out this veteran Warriors team.
For that reason, we’ll look at the total here. This could be another tight, chippy game with both teams focused on limiting transition opportunities. Some hot shooting by Golden State sent the score over the total in Game 5, but that’s less likely to happen on the road.
Game 3 and 4 both went under the total, and we should get back to that on Friday in a competitive Game 6 with plenty of defensive energy.
