The NBA Christmas day schedule features ten teams and five games. Arguably the most anticipated is the showdown between the Los Angeles Lakers versus the Golden State Warriors as they meet for the first time in the 2018-19 regular season.
Both teams last played on Sunday with the Lakers losing to the Grizzlies while the Warriors won a squeaker versus the Clippers. Last season, Golden State swept LA but the Lakers hold the all-time record having bested the Warriors in 251 of the of their 416 matches.
Los Angeles Lakers
From the minute LeBron James signed with the Lakers and the Christmas schedule was released fans were excited about this matchup. After playing the Warriors in the finals the past four seasons there is plenty of motivation on both sides of the hardwood.

James and his young roster have gelled earlier than most expected although they’ve yet to play many of the upper echelon teams. With a more difficult strength of schedule and their travel increasing the Lakers have lost four of their last six games.

LA could be thin up front with both Tyson Chandler (back spasms) and JaVale McGee (flu) questionable
Golden State Warriors
Although the Warriors haven’t been as easily motivated to win regular season games this isn’t a normal game. Having repeatedly battled LeBron in the finals expect the Dubs to be hyped for a dominant performance to send a message.
Since his return, Stephen Curry’s presence on the court has made a palpable difference. Kerr uncharacteristically has played Curry with the reserve unit searching for a way to get both lines producing.
Teams have slacked off Draymond Green who is shooting 23.9% from the perimeter this season. More concerning is Klay Thompson is shooting 15.7% in his last five games.

Free Los Angeles Lakers vs. Golden State Warriors NBA Prediction:
The Lakers struggle on the road plus if both Chandler and McGee can’t suit up they’ll be in tough versus the Dubs.
LeBron always shows up for these marquee matches – the problem is, so do Curry and Durant. Yet, Steve Kerr will be asking Santa for Thompson and Green to break out of their shooting slumps.
