Command Analysis
Lakers failed to brek into the Top-6 of the Western conference. Even the five-game winning streak didn't help them to get around Portland. Now they will have to fight Golden State for the playoff spot.
In the regular season Vogel's team won two out of three matches against the Warriors. On March they celebrated two victories with a 117:91 and 128:97 scores.
There are no unavailable players in the Los Angeles squad before this game. LeBron James already returned, so Lakers will play with their strongest line-up.
Golden State finished on the 8th spot of the Western conference. The main reason of this achievement is Stephen Curry's performance. He almost singlehandedly pushed his team to the playoffs. But Warriors will have a hard time in the knock-out stages. They are playing weak on away games. Steve Kerr's side lost 55% away fixtures.
Golden State will have to play against Lakers without two players: Kelly Oubre and Damian Lee are unavailable because of injuries.
