The Lakers have won six of their last seven games and four of their last five road games. They are playing well offensively, scoring 119 points per game in their last three games and the Griz don't have a big man to contain Anthony Davis. They’ve also taken advantage of their opportunities at the charity stripe, making over 82 percent of their free throws during that span. They rebound the ball well and they’re very aggressive on the offensive glass, which will give them more scoring opportunities.
The Lakers are playing well defensively at the moment, holding their last three opponents under 110 points per game, so look for the Lakers to steal game 1 here.
