What to expect from the Lakers and Warriors matchup

The Lakers and the Warriors are the only two teams that are in tremendous form right now. While the Warriors have won 11 of their last 15 games, the Lakers have won five in a row and finally have their superstars back.

While the champions do make a better case in the game with more star power and a significant size advantage, they haven’t had enough games to have the necessary cohesion and have a new center in Andre Drummond who hasn’t played much with AD and ‘the King‘.

Given the lack of playtime, the Lakers’ offense might be a wild shot. The Warriors meanwhile have been elite on both sides of the court, but one of the determining factors will be who will play second fiddle in the attack.

Steph Curry might be in fantastic form but the Lakers are no fluke defensively. If they can contain Curry, who will Golden State rely on for their offense?

There are many factors that might affect the outcome of the game. Expect a slugfest in the defensive end and some fantastic offensive schemes in this game.
