2024 NBA Preseason Picks & Predictions: Lakers vs. Warriors
Check out our top NBA preseason picks and predictions for Friday’s game.
Lakers vs. Warriors
The Lakers and Warriors will square off in the final game of the NBA preseason. These two played on Tuesday and the Warriors won the game 111-97. Both teams’ starters played a decent amount in this game and it wasn’t very successful for Los Angeles. The Lakers shot just 35.8% from the floor while giving up 45.8% shooting to a deep Warriors squad. That depth from Golden State is the reason they’re 5-0 in the preseason. Even games where Steph Curry, Draymond Green and company sat the Warriors were able to get wins like last Sunday against Detroit. It’s clear the Lakers are more interested in keeping their stars healthy headed into the regular season. It wouldn’t shock me if their starters get little to no playing time in this one. That gives the Warriors an even bigger edge and makes them the clear play in this preseason finale.
