The Dubs come into this game after yet another disappointing defeat to the Dallas Mavericks. They came back from 16 points behind in the fourth quarter, but Luka Doncics brilliance helped the Mavs get past the finish line.

The youngster scored 41 points and led the way for a 122-113 win on the night. Steph Curry went scoreless in the fourth quarter, while rookie Moses Moddy racked up 10 points there to keep the Warriors in the game.

Golden State Warriors

• The Golden State Warriors have gone on to lose three games on the trot. They are the second seed in the West with a 43-20 record. Pushing to get to second place in the Memphis Grizzlies, who are just one game behind the Dubs.
• This means that the Warriors cannot afford further slippage, which makes their game against the Lakers a crucial one.
• The team are playing without Draymond Green and this seems to have massively affected their defense. He has returned to practice, but the Warriors do not want to rush his return, keeping the playoffs in mind.
• They have a lot of talented youngsters who can deliver, but due to a lapse in concentration in the fourth quarter, the Warriors have ended up losing their most recent games.

Key Player - Stephen Curry

Stephen Curry was disappointed after the teams defeat to the Dallas Mavericks. He was unable to fire a single shot in the fourth quarter and stated that he needed to find a solution to come out on top against good defenses.

Going up against the Lakers, Curry could expect to have a big scoring night as the Purple and Gold are not a great defensive unit.

However, knowing his brilliance, the Lakers will come into the game all prepared to put him under pressure. If he gets going, the Dubs are certainly favorites to come out of this game as winners.

LA Lakers

• The LA Lakers continued their run of disappointment after yet another defeat to the LA Clippers on Thursday.
• They continue as the ninth seed in the West with a 27-35 record. This has helped them stay in the play-in spot, but with the New Orleans Pelicans right behind them, the Purple and Gold are in trouble of even falling out of the play-in spot.
• LeBron James has been their only player who is in form. Russell Westbrook did show signs of life against the Clippers, but the Lakers will need some consistency from him.
• With Anthony Davis injured, the Lakers defense has been dismal and they will need to soon come up with a solution to get better on that end.

Key Player - LeBron James

LeBron James has had a terrific season individually. The 37-year-old has averaged 28.8 PPG, 8.0 RPG and 6.2 APG. Playing in Year 19, he has played 36.8 minutes per game, proving how great of a player he is. James is disappointed with where the team is currently, but has still not lost hope from them.

Going up against the Warriors, he is going to be a key player for them. His ability to hit some big shots will come in handy and with the Warriors also showing signs of weakness in the defense, he will be looking to exploit them and help the Lakers put an end to their four-game losing streak.
