Golden State Warriors
Going into Game 6 between the Warriors and Lakers, the Warriors will hope for a performance similar to the one they put forth in Game 5 at home. But to do that, the Warriors will need to win on the road, which has been hard for them to do all season long.
For the Warriors to win on the road in this contest, they are going to need Klay Thompson to step things up. He has averaged just 11.3 points per game over his last three games. That is not enough against a Lakers team that has been able to get great looks at the rim regularly in this series.
Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers are just a game away from pulling their second upset of these NBA Playoffs, at least from a seeding perspective. They are at home for this game, where they have dominated the Warriors for the most part in this series. But they will need their role players to step up once again to finish the job and advance to the Western Conference Finals.
Throughout this postseason, the Lakers have received great games from players like Rui Hachimura and Lonnie Walker IV. If someone can do that again to help LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Lakers could move on after this game.
