Sagarin indicates shading on this spread of 2.5 to 3 points as the line should be -6.5 according to their formula.

Golden State has won the last seven games in this series, four of which were by more than the current spread.

From ESPN.com: "The Warriors wish they had a fully healthy DeMarcus Cousins under their Christmas tree. Cousins actually had a fun one-on-one half-court game Friday in which he dunked on Kevin Durant. But Cousins still seems a long way from being able to play to be his All-Star self and return to action. With Cousins and Damian Jones out, the Warriors are in need of an athletic rim-protecting big who can catch alley-oops."

Golden State have won eight of their last ten games overall but have failed to cover in all but one of their last seven.

The Lakers will enter this game having won five of their last ten overall but have only covered the spread in three of those.
