2018-19 NBA Schedule: 5 marquee Lakers games to watch out for

#2 Lakers at Warriors, 25th December 2018

2017 NBA Finals - Game Four

Big-time rivalries have headed back to Cali! The Lakers with LeBron James, Brandon Ingram and a number of talented role players will now throw the gauntlet down on the Warriors, who have made it to each of the last 4 Finals series and won 3 of them.

For what it's worth, contests between the greatest player on the planet and the greatest team of all time will be seen more often from the 2018-19 season - 4 times a season at the bare minimum as both teams are in the Pacific division.

It will be fascinating to see how the Lakers measure up against the team they hope to topple, even if the Warriors are more heavily stacked against the rest of the league than ever. A team with LeBron on it will always stand a chance in any basketball game.

Note: The Lakers also play the Warriors on 21st January and 4th April at the Staples Center, while the Warriors will host the Lakers on 2nd February at the Oracle Arena.
