Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Lakers: Current situation
The Warriors are in a bit of a rut lately with just 3 wins over their last 10 games. Stephen Curry has also been out of form averaging just 22.3 points per game over his last 8 games while shooting an uncharacteristic 39.9% from the field and 36% from three. They made a move to add another point guard last week as Dennis Schroder arrived from Brooklyn. However, it might take some time for him to gel with his new teammates, the Warriors are currently 8th in the West with a 15-13 record.
Los Angeles is also in the play-in tournament mix, interestingly enough they hold 7th place in the West with a 16-13 record, the same seed they finished in the last two seasons. With the team failing to win games on a consistent basis, a lot of analysts are predicting some sort of big trade to happen before the deadline. Zach LaVine and Trae Young are the two most mentioned names in connection with the Lakers, the question is who does LA give up to get them?
Golden State Warriors Stats & Form
Golden State suffered a 4th loss in 5 games on Monday with the Pacers beating them 111-105 at Chase Center. Jonathan Kuminga was the unexpected hero with 26 off the bench, while the starters mostly struggled. Stephen Curry made just 2 of 13 shots, with a similar effort on Christmas Day the Warriors don’t have much to hope for against the Lakers.
Los Angeles Lakers Stats & Form
Losing both games to the Detroit Pistons is something that not a lot of Lakers fans thought could happen this season, but here we are. LA led by as many as 10 points on Monday night, but late game execution once again cost them the game. LeBron James was the high point man with 28, he also added 11 rebounds and 11 assists for another triple-double. That’s very little comfort to the Lakers who dropped their 3rd home game of the season.
Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Lakers: Head-to-Head

Games between these two teams have been marked by high scoring, an average of 236.5 points per game have been scored in the last 10 played. LA still holds a comfortable lead in the all-time regular season series win total with 262 to 176.

Betting tip and prediction: Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Lakers (25.12.2024)
Losing to the Pistons at home on Monday was a real momentum killer for the Lakers who had won 3 in a row prior to that game. Now they hit the road where they’ve won just 7 of 16 games this year, to face a Warriors team that has had their number in recent meetings. However, despite the loss to Detroit, the Lakers are the more in-form team as Golden State has just 3 wins in their last 10 games. Stephen Curry and co. have been out of shape for a while now, their most recent loss was a 111-105 defeat to the Pacers on Monday at home. Curry managed just 10 points in that game, his pairing with newly acquired point guard Dennis Schroder is off to a rocky start. This game will come down to just how well the Lakers can counter the three-point shooting of the Warriors. LA has had issues with the deep ball in recent games, scoring 10 or less 3 times in their last 5 outings. However, the Warriors have really struggled containing teams from the perimeter allowing 43% of shooting in their last 3, which is a massive number. Anthony Davis should also have a big game as the Warriors roster isn’t equipped to handle a player of his size down low. All in all, we believe the Lakers should have enough to keep this game somewhat close, so let’s back them to cover the spread.
