Lakers vs Warriors Prediction and Odds: NBA 2021-22 Form
The Los Angeles Lakers are currently stuck in the ninth spot with the side desperate to stay in the top 10 of the table in the Western Conference. The main reason behind this has been let down by other players except for LeBron James.
Despite all this, the giant side has managed to win 27 matches so far but 35 defeats have kept them down in the table. After defeats against Clippers, Mavericks, and Pelicans in the last few games, the side is itching to get out of the jail when they play the Golden State Warriors. They have an 18-16 record at home and would be looking to improve that in the days to come.
The Golden State Warriors came into the season with the least expectations that not only took the pressure off them but also enabled them to perform well. Even after getting battered against the likes of Mavericks and Timberwolves in the last few clashes that have concerned them.
They have to continue to dominate the field if they have to stay in touch with the Suns. Looking at their last 10 outings, they have registered just the 3 triumphs but have ended on the wrong side on 7 occasions. Overall, they have registered 43 victories in 63 appearances in this edition putting them in the 2nd spot.
