<p>Tonight&#8217;s NBA face-off between the Warriors and the Lakers promises to be an edge-of-your-seat thriller. Despite losing Game 1, the Warriors enter as six-point favorites. We&#8217;ve seen Boston bounce back with a Game 2 victory, so the question on everyone&#8217;s mind is: can LA pull off the same feat and take a commanding series lead? They&#8217;ve got a fighting chance.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s rewind a bit &#8211; the Lakers snagged the first game against Memphis away from home and have proven to be a formidable road team with their new roster. Although the Warriors hold home-court advantage, their 2-2 record in San Fran during the playoffs leaves room for LA to level the series.</p>
<p>In Game 1, the Warriors&#8217; three-point game was on fire, sinking 21 of 53 attempts, while the Lakers struggled at 6 of 25. Keep an eye out for that gap to narrow tonight. Jordan Poole&#8217;s outstanding Game 1 performance may cool off, and LeBron, who only made 9 of 24 shots, could very well come back stronger.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t let the Warriors&#8217; reputation cloud your judgment &#8211; I&#8217;m telling you, the Lakers have a genuine shot at claiming Game 2. Their tenacious defense and adaptability on the road could give them the upper hand. Plus, they&#8217;ve learned the hard way not to underestimate a team that can nail those threes.</p>
<p>When it comes to betting, hindsight is 20/20 &#8211; you might be kicking yourself for not taking the Lakers at 22-1 odds pre-playoffs. But let&#8217;s stay in the moment. With the Warriors favored by six points, it&#8217;s alluring to bet on them, but don&#8217;t write off LA completely.</p>
<p>The NBA playoffs&#8217; zigzag theory suggests a team that lost Game 1 will rally in Game 2. While it&#8217;s not a surefire guarantee, it&#8217;s worth considering. Case in point: the Celtics&#8217; Game 2 triumph over the Sixers.</p>
<p>So, what&#8217;s the move for tonight? It&#8217;s doubtful the Warriors are headed for a 15-20 point loss, but the Lakers have a legitimate chance to even the series. Regardless of which side you&#8217;re betting on, this nail-biter is not to be missed!</p>
