Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Lakers: Current situation
Golden State is one of the teams that’s most looking forward to the All-Star break. The current injury situation is among the worst in the league as Kyle Anderson, Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga continue to miss games. That’s a big blow to the depth of the Warriors who are relying on 36 year old Stephen Curry to carry them. Steph can still play, but long gone are the days when he was able to carry a championship contender on his back alone.
As the season goes on the Lakers are showing really good signs of improvement. They’ve now won 4 of 5 games, including a big win on Thursday over their eternal rivals the Boston Celtics. LeBron James just got named a All-Star starter for the 21st time in his career, he is still producing at a high level even at the age of 40. LA currently leads the Pacific Division, they also just took over the 5th seed in the West from the injury riddled Mavericks.
Golden State Warriors Stats & Form
Despite leading by as many as 18 points, the Warriors blew their last game against the Sacramento Kings and lost by 6. It was their 2nd loss in head-to-head meetings vs Sacramento, on a night where they made 22 threes on 48 attempts. The defense was just nowhere to be seen as the Kings attacked relentlessly all night long. Turnovers were another factor, the Warriors committed 19 of them compared to just 8 by their opponent.
Los Angeles Lakers Stats & Form
It was much easier than expected for the Lakers in their last game against Boston as they won by 21 points. LeBron James, Austin Reaves and Anthony Davis all went for 20+ points, it was just an all-around efficient game by the Lakers who dominated the rebounding battle and also held the Cs to just 38% shooting. The Lakers have now covered the spread 13 times in 20 games.

Saturday’s game will be the 440th regular season meeting between them, LA holds a firm lead with 263 wins to the Warriors’ 176 wins.

Betting tip and prediction: Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Lakers (25.01.2025)
The thing that separates these two teams at the moment is their defensive ability. The Lakers have been able to stager their opponents, holding them to just 106.8 points per game in the last 5 outings. For a team like the Warriors that’s had very big issues scoring the ball lately this could be a big issue. Another issue will be containing Anthony Davis who has been on a roll lately. He featured for only 7 minutes in the first meeting this season on Christmas Day before going off injured. LeBron James stepped up on that night with 31 points, the 40-year old is still a threat on most nights. Depth is also on the Lakers side there as the Warriors have 3 very important rotation players out injured. Austin Reaves has really stepped up his performances ever since getting the keys to the offense handed to him following the trade of D’Angelo Russell to the Nets. With the last 3 Lakers’ opponents shooting just 31.6% from three-point land, we feel like Golden State will not be able to consistently score to keep up with the fast paced offense of LA. Back Los Angeles to win and go up 2-0 in the regular season series.
