LA Lakers vs. Golden State Warriors: What to expect
With the Lakers playing on back-to-back nights following their game against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday, coach JJ Redick is likely to rest his key players ahead of the regular season opener on Oct. 22. LeBron James has already been ruled out for the Lakers' final preseason game and it's expected that Anthony Davis will also sit out for rest.
Meanwhile, Warriors coach Steve Kerr may also choose to rest Steph Curry, who recently recovered from a finger injury. Given the circumstances, it’s unlikely the Warriors will risk their star player, particularly in their final preseason game.
With the star players expected to rest, role players from both teams will have a prime opportunity to showcase their talents and make an impression on their coaches before the regular season begins.
