Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors Prediction: Can the Warriors avoid defeat by the reigning champions?

The Golden State won the fifth game of the series with the Lakers and brought the rivalry back to Los Angeles. Will the Warriors be able to avoid dropping the reigning champion at the end of the sixth game?

The most important thing to talk about in the run-up to Game 6 is the health of Anthony Davis. One of the Lakers' leaders suffered a head injury in the fifth game of the series and could not finish it. That was largely the reason why the Lakes were ultimately unable to put up a fight. If Davis doesn't play in Game 6, the Lakers will also find it extremely difficult to win there. And there's no way to lose to LeBron James and their team, as we would remind you that Game 7 will take place in San Francisco, where Golden State will be difficult to stop.

The Warriors had a great chance to avenge LeBron James' defeat in the 2016 NBA Finals when Cleveland, where LeBron played, won the series by a 1:3. Golden State had already taken the first step with a very confident 121:106 home win. Steph Curry had 27 points, Andrew Wiggins had 25, and Draymond Green had 20 points and ten rebounds. Clay Thompson, on the other hand, was troubling. Clay had another poor game, scoring only 10 points.

Golden State and the Los Angeles Lakers are having a winning streak. However, that has little to do with Game 6. On the contrary, the defense will likely take center stage, as the cost of a mistake is high: the Warriors drop out if they lose, while the Lakers, having lost, will be forced to play a seventh game on the road. In the upcoming game, we expect a lot of brutal and slow basketball and, as a result, poor scoring. In addition, our money is on Golden State, given the unresolved situation with Anthony Davis, which could be good for the Warriors.
