Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Lakers: Preview & Picks 05/08/2023

Game Preview


 

 

Game Preview

 
The Warriors and Lakers’ Conference Semifinal matchup hasn’t featured much drama despite playing in front of a Hollywood audience because both teams have traded blows in their last two games. The Lakers bounced back at home to dominate the Warriors 127-97 in Game 3 after losing Game 2 by a score of 27 points.
 
Due to the different playing philosophies of the two teams, it is crucial for each to establish and control the game. In Game 3, the Warriors were unable to match the Lakers’ size and toughness. Additionally, they were unable to prevent Los Angeles from advancing to the free-throw line, where the Lakers had a 37-17 advantage.
 
Golden State bombed from outside the arc in the first two games, but collapsed in Game 3 with a performance of 13 for 44 from beyond the arc (as opposed to 42 for 95 in the previous two games). Although the Lakers performed a great job of stopping the three-pointers, we can anticipate the Warriors to play better in Game 4, particularly in light of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson’s subpar games.
 
The Lakers have won seven straight games at home and have covered four straight games at Crypto.com Arena. In stark contrast to the Warriors’ terrible road outings, this is impressive.

In Game 3, D’Angelo Russell, who has been a bit of a wild card in the playoffs, made a significant impact. In the first half, he set the tone and finished with 21 points and five three-pointers. The Lakers made a total of 15 3-pointers, marking the third time in the playoffs that they had done so. The key issue surrounding the Lakers is which side of Anthony Davis will show up.
 
He typically fluctuates between strong and weak performances, and Game 3 was no exception.  He was unproductive in Games 1 and 2, but he appeared unstoppable in Game 1, and he recovered in Game 3 with 25 points, 13 rebounds, and 7 “stocks” (steals and blocks). If that keeps happening, Davis is in for a difficult evening. In Game 3, he played the most minutes of any player, thus weariness might be a problem.
