- Golden State Warriors: 175 wins
- Los Angeles Lakers: 262 wins
Tuesday’s contest between the LA Lakers and the Golden State Warriors will be the 438th regular season game between the two Western Conference rivals. The Warriors currently hold a 2-game winning streak over the Lakers, but historically LA has dominated this series, posting 87 more wins than Golden State, along with a 60% win-rate. However, in their last 2 meetings with Golden State the Lakers gave up 128 points in each contest, averaged 115.5 points, and lost both games. Fortunately the Lakers are back home, giving them a much needed edge.
Warriors vs. Lakers Game Predictions
Tuesday’s matchup between the Warriors and Lakers is essentially a playoff game, and while both teams have clinched a spot in the play-in, they each have a chance at an automatic playoff berth. Since there is so much on the line, both the Warriors and the Lakers are bound to treat the game as a must-win, which means the pressure will be dialed to eleven. Both the Warrior and the Lakers have an immense amount of postseason experience, but only one team has the king of the playoffs, Lebron James. James has the ability to take over in big moments, and I’m expecting a huge game from the NBA’s all-time scoring leader. It’ll be close, especially with Steph Curry on the other side, but I’d take the LA Lakers in this one.
