The Los Angeles Lakers play the Golden State Warriors on Thursday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
Both teams resume play after the All-Star break looking to catch fire and secure a playoff spot. The Lakers are in 13th place in the Western Conference at 27-32, while Golden State is 29-29 and in ninth place.
Steve Kerr’s squad will be short-handed; it will be without Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins, arguably its two best players. Meanwhile, the Lakers are almost at full strength. LeBron James is expected to play despite a nagging left foot ailment.
This contest represents what the Lakers hope will be the start of their sprint toward a productive postseason. Head coach Darvin Ham says they’re aiming to finish in the top six in the West.
