Lakers vs Warriors Prediction and NBA Odds

The Los Angeles Lakers have their next road trip to face the Golden State Warriors tonight. It is surely going to be a tough game for them, especially after being eliminated from the playoff contention with the last defeat to the Suns.

It is very hard to digest that a team full of many star basketball players has failed to compete in most of the games this season. The team’s head coach Frank Vogel expressed his emotions after his side’s painful exit. Vogel said:

“Extremely disappointed. Disappointed for our fan base. Disappointed for the Buss family, who gave us all this opportunity and we want to play our part in bringing success to Laker basketball and we fell short.“

The Golden State Warriors will aim for their third straight win when they host the Lakers at the Chase Center Arena. It should not be a big task for them to take advantage of the struggling Lakers and secure another home win.

The Warriors have already clinched their playoff berth. With only 3 regular-season games, they would hope to continue the good form and end the season on a strong note.

Injury has been a constant issue for the Lakers from the start of their campaign. Anthony Davis mentioned after the last game that they had more lineups than wins this season which is a bitter truth.

The status of their No. 1 pick, Lebron James is questionable for the next clash as he is suffering from an ankle injury. The Warriors are missing their star player, Stephen Curry in the lineup. He is expected to make a comeback in the playoffs.
