Los Angeles Lakers @ Golden State Warriors, 8:00 p.m. (ET)
Watchability Scale: 5.0
The Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James will take on the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors for the first time this season on Christmas Day.
The Warriors have had issues with injuries this season but they are finally all healthy, with the exception of DeMarcus Cousins who is getting closer to his debut. The Lakers have had a manageable schedule and have definitely looked impressive so far this season.
The Warriors have been getting some excellent performances from Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry lately and both should give a young Laker defense issues all game.
Prediction: LeBron and the Lakers keep it close until a Warriors fourth quarter run.
