Golden State Warriors Vs Los Angeles Lakers Game Day Preview
The Golden State Warriors will look to extend their 3 game winning streak for this ESPN Primetime game at 5pm PST. Stephen Curry during this stretch 3 game winning streak has been averaging 30 points. While the Los Angeles Lakers will look to win their second game in a row with Dennis Schröder back in the fold now. With Schröder back in rotation now it allows LeBron James to give another ball handler to take some load off him in the play making department. It’s only one game but is it too early to say the Los Angeles Lakers are back? Let’s take a dive in on both teams.
Golden State Warriors
The Warriors have been on a roll and are coming off their latest win against the Indiana Pacers led by Stephen Curry 24 points, 8 assists, and 8 rebounds.
The Warriors starting lineup of Curry, Kelly Oubre, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, & Kevon Looney has been positive as of late for the Warriors. Per Basketball Reference this starting five for their Golden State Warriors are 6-2.
The Warriors record in the Western Conference is 19-15. A win here against the Los Angeles Lakers can put them ahead of the Portland Trailblazers at the 6th seed. Then the Warriors play the Trailblazers after playing the Lakers this will for sure be without a doubt one of the biggest games for the Warriors especially as the first half of the NBA season is coming to an end.
Los Angeles Lakers
For the Los Angeles Lakers what you can say out of their last 5 games is they finally got back into the win column against the Portland Trailblazers. More importantly for the Lakers is they get their starting point guard back in Dennis Schröder.
The Lakers without Schröder in the 4 game losing streak per StatsMuse only averaged 101.3 points per game. Compare that to their stats offensively with Schröder per StatsMuse are 23-7, and average 112.5 points per game. That’s an 11.2 points increase with Schröder back in the starting rotation.
This will be another big game for the Los Angeles Lakers as they look to also finish their fast half of the season on a high note, and try to float around a top 3 seed until their second superstar is also back in the fold in Anthony Davis.
