The Golden State Warriors host the LA Lakers on Saturday night at Chase Center. The Warriors and Lakers have been subpar this season despite their star players dodging injuries. Both veteran teams were hindered by that issue last season.
Steph Curry has missed only two games, while Klay Thompson has missed one. LeBron James has missed five games, while Anthony Davis has missed only two. However, the Warriors are 19-23, 12th in the standings, while the Lakers are 23-23, ninth in the standings.
The prime reason behind that is the form of their supporting casts and their respective injury issues. The Warriors and Lakers are among the only contenders who have had to try multiple starting lineups due to this.
