Best NBA matches to bet on: Lakers Vs Golden State Warriors Game 2

LeBron James Vs Stephen Curry! This might be the last time we see these two legends battle in a play-offs series. These players have quite the history, as this Western Conference Semi-final matchup is their fifth playoff encounter against each other. Steph Curry’s Warriors had a seven-game battle against the Sacramento Kings to progress to the second round; meanwhile, the Lakers cleared the Grizzlies in six games to advance to the semis. The Lakers and Golden State Warriors is one matchup perhaps too great for the Western Conference Semifinals, as only one of these teams will progress to the next round. Here’s a preview of Game Two between these teams.

• The Warriors have fatigue in play here. After battling the Kings in a seven-game series, the Warriors could not compete as efficiently against the well-rested Los Angeles Lakers.

• Klay Thompson added 25 points, while Jordan Poole added 21 from the bench. Kevon Looney had a monster game against the glass as he grabbed a joint game-high 23 rebounds. However, more was needed to secure the dub for the Warriors at Chase Center.
