The Golden State Warriors host the Los Angeles Lakers for their final game in the month of February. The primetime matchup is scheduled for 5:30 PM PT in San Francisco and will be broadcast on ABC.
Previously with the Warriors:
The Warriors enter tonight’s matchup back to three games above .500 after Wednesday’s 133–112 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. It was a complete team effort from Golden State, with eight of their nine available players scoring in double figures, led by rookie Will Richard’s 21 points. That energy showed up defensively as well, as Golden State forced 16 turnovers that turned into 33 points. After the game, Brandin Podziemski — who finished second on the team with 19 points — praised the group’s collective approach.
What to watch for tonight:
The test gets tougher tonight for Golden State as they take on a Lakers team that sits 3.5 games ahead of them in the standings. The season series is split at one game each, with Los Angeles taking the most recent matchup earlier this month, 105–99.
De’Anthony Melton is expected to return after resting the second night of a back-to-back, but the Warriors will still be shorthanded. Stephen Curry has been ruled out for his 10th consecutive game, and Kristaps Porzingis — who missed the past two games due to illness — has now officially been ruled out as well.
Without their primary scoring options, the Warriors have leaned on ball movement, pace, and perimeter shooting to generate offense. Against Memphis, Golden State shot 41.3 percent from three and recorded 37 assists. Expect that approach to continue tonight against a Lakers team loaded with offensive firepower — including the NBA’s leading scorer Luka Dončić — but one that ranks 24th in the league in defensive rating (116.8).
