The Los Angeles Lakers take on the Golden State Warriors in an exciting clash in the West. The last time these two teams faced, the Warriors came up victorious thanks to a Steph Curry masterclass. Currently, the Warriors are on a three-game winning streak and have a 19-15 record in the West, and Steph Curry has been playing at an MVP level this season.

The Lakers, on the other hand, just snapped a four-game losing streak this Friday against the Trail Blazers. Dennis Schroder’s return galvanized the team, as they went on to get the win against an important conference rival. LeBron James continues to play at an MVP level, despite the absence of Anthony Davis. The Lakers will hope to continue their momentum into the All-Star break.

With that in mind, here is everything you need to know about the Lakers hosting the Warriors.
