LA Lakers (45-29) and Golden State Warriors (42-31) will lock horns at the Crypto.com Arena on Thursday night. The Lakers will be shooting for a win to improve their standings in the Western Conference and get a higher seeding. JJ Redick’s men are fourth in the standings, 17 games behind the Thunder and only 3.0 games behind the second-placed Rockets. They are also just a game ahead of the Grizzlies and will be keen not to drop further down in the standings.

Meanwhile, time is almost running out for the Warriors to avoid the play-in tournament. They are seventh in the conference standings, 19.5 games behind the Thunder. The Warriors can pip the in-form Clippers to the sixth position if they win their next away games against the Spurs and the Grizzlies. They have been in great shape lately, winning seven of their last 10 games, including a 16-point win over the Pelicans to recover from the disappointing loss in Miami.

Our Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction

The Lakers have been playing excellent basketball lately, so they are the obvious favorites here. They have scored an average of 118.4 points in the last five matches, which is better than their season average of 113.2. We also expect the Lakers to go on a winning run now that Doncic and LeBron James are fit and firing. The two superstars were exceptional against the Grizzlies, scoring 29 and 25 points, respectively. This could be a close game, although the star duo should give the Lakers an edge. Our prediction for Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors: Los Angeles Lakers to win.

Prediction:

 

Los Angeles Lakers to win.
