The Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors play tonight, March 14th. Here is all the information you need to watch or listen to the game.
The Los Angeles Lakers picked up a nice victory on Tuesday night over the Denver Nuggets. Los Angeles was able to exact some revenge against a team that has rubbed them the wrong way this season. Now, they will look to exact some revenge on another team.
Tonight, the Lakers will wrap up their back-to-back set with a visit to the defending champion Golden State Warriors. The Warriors have won all three meetings thus far this season against the Lakers. However, all three meetings have been close.
The first two meetings, both of which were at the STAPLES Center, went to overtime. Golden State was able to outlast Los Angeles in both games. In the first game at Oracle Arena, the Warriors won by seven points.
Tonight, the Lakers will have an excellent chance of knocking off the Warriors. The Warriors are going to be shorthanded tonight. Golden State will be down three starters as Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green are all out tonight. Reserve David West is also sidelined.
Curry and Thompson will be sidelined a few more games because of an ankle and thumb injury, respectively.

The Lakers are not without injuries of their own. Small forward Brandon Ingram will be sidelined tonight and at least one more game as he recovers from a strained left groin. Shooting guard Josh Hart is also sidelined with a fracture in his left hand.
Without Ingram and Hart, the Lakers have been relying more on Lonzo Ball, Isaiah Thomas and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to carry more of the load. Brook Lopez has also stepped up his production.
While the Warriors aren’t at full strength, they still have the mercurial Kevin Durant to worry about. Durant is capable of winning a game by himself, so the Lakers will still have their hands full if they want to pick up a victory.
The Lakers are on the second night of a back-to-back, but the Warriors are ripe for an upset. They are looking to get to the postseason without any more major issues. Despite not having Ingram and Hart, the Lakers have shown they are capable of playing good basketball without them.
Will the Lakers be able to get their first victory of the season against the Warriors tonight? Or will Durant prove to be too much and get the win for the short-handed Warriors? We will have to wait and see!
