This game will be played at Chase Center at 8:30 PM ET on Saturday, February 11, 2023.
Why Bet the Warriors:
✅ The Lakers took some steps to improve their roster in the trade market, but there will be some growing pains in forming their new team. Expect them to struggle to come together at times in this contest, to the benefit of the Warriors.
✅ Yes, Steph Curry is out for this game for the Warriors. But Golden State is an impressive 21-6 at home on the year, even with Curry missing out on some of those contests. Expect the Warriors to continue rolling at Chase Center on Saturday night.
✅ The Lakers are just 1-9 in Pacific Division games so far this season.

Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers come into this weekend on a three-game losing streak. Their most recent loss came on Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks at home, with LeBron James sitting out after breaking the league’s all-time scoring record on Tuesday. Now, LeBron could be back, and the Lakers will need him to beat the defending champions.
Los Angeles will look way different in this game than they have previously this season. In addition to the anticipated return of James, the Lakers should have newly acquired Jarred Vanderbilt, Malik Beasley, and D’Angelo Russell for this contest. They will be a better shooting team as a result, but this team could be extremely porous on the defensive end.
Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors also lost their last outing, falling against the Portland Trail Blazers on the road. That loss snapped a two-game winning streak for the Warriors, who will look to get back into the win column in this primetime matchup. With the way the Warriors have played at home this season, they will be expected to do just that.
Golden State is 21-6 at home this year, and they have won four straight at Chase Center. Their most recent loss at home came against the Brooklyn Nets, where a shorthanded Warriors team blew a huge lead in the second half. With just about everyone but Steph Curry available for them in this game, the Warriors’ shooting could propel them to another convincing performance.
