The Warriors continue to look like a dangerous team with every game. They’ve won three in a row and it’s thanks to the leadership of Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, who is coming off a career-high 19 assists in a 130-121 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night. Stephe and Dray have a young Dubs team looking like they will want to be avoided by a higher seed come playoff time. It’s time to make a statement win over the Lakers.
As for those Lakers, a 102-93 win over the Portland Trail Blazers ended a four-game skid, the Lakers’ longest losing streak since December 2019. Dennis Schroder is back in the lineup from health and safety protocols and it gave the Lake Show a boost on both ends of the ball. The Lakers need to close out their first half schedule with a few more wins before Anthony Davis can get back from his calf strain.
The LA Lakers are struggling without Anthony Davis on both ends of the floor which makes a 36-year-old James' job even harder. However, they finally have Dennis Schroder back in the lineup and his perimeter defense is much valued. The LA Lakers are now 0-4 without Schroder and 23-7 with him on the floor. He recorded 22 points in his return.
The Golden State Warriors seems to have put their issues behind them and now have a 19-15 winning record. The Warriors' win against the Charlotte Hornets in their last outing marked their first three-game win streak. Draymond Green showed his championship mettle in that game after he recorded a triple-double, including a career-high 19 assists.
