LeBron James and Steph Curry will square off in the NBA’s main event on Thursday for the fourth and final time during the 2024โ25 regular season.
Given that Golden State is now ranked No. 5 in the Western Conference and the Los Angeles Lakers are currently ranked No. 3, there is a probability that the two teams may face off in the playoffs.
Since signing Jimmy Butler, the Warriors have been on a roll, going 19โ4 in his 23 games. Since Luka Doncic joined the team, the Lakers have pushed themselves into the running for the championship.
Los Angeles has dominated the season series, winning all three games, but neither Butler nor Doncic have participated in a Warriors-Lakers game this season.
Can the Warriors avoid sweeping the season after Steph Curry scored 52 points in a victory on Tuesday?
The odds, players to watch in the prop market, and my prediction for this Western Conference matchup are all broken out here.
