Can the Lakers regain momentum with a win over the weakened Warriors?
While both these teams have very similar records, there is no denying that the Lakers are in a better position to win this game. After all, both LeBron and AD are expected to play despite being on the injury report. Moreover, the team is coming off an unexpected loss to the Sacramento Kings and is eager to regain momentum and improve their standing in the West.
Although Steph Curry and Draymond Green could make their return for the Warriors, it is unclear if the two Warriors veterans will be at full strength and have enough impact to get a win over the Lakers. This is still expected to be a close game. However, the Lakers are slightly favored to win.
