Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on February 7. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers played their previous game for the first time since the landmark signing of Luka Doncic in exchange for Anthony Davis. The Slovenian did not make his debut for the new team in this game, but that did not stop the Lakers. In the away derby of Los Angeles, LeBron James' team confidently outplayed the Clippers. 122:97 - LeBron himself scored 26 points, and Austin Reeves added 20 points to the team's piggy bank. The main big man was Jackson Hayes, who also had a good game - 2 blocked shots, a steal and a +14 utility rating.

Thus, the Lakers have three wins in a row. Earlier on the road, the Lakers beat Washington (134:96) and New York (128:112). In the previous 11 matches LAL has 9 wins. J.J. Reddick's team is getting more and more secure in the playoff zone, and is now in fifth place in the Western Conference with a 29-19 balance.

Golden State Warriors

The Warriors will take the court for the second day in a row, and last night Steve Kerr's team faced off against last-place Utah in the Western Conference. Despite the difference in class, the game was very hard-fought, and Golden State eventually lost 128-113. Even Steph Curry's 32 points and Brandin Podzemski's 29 points didn't help the Warriors.

Golden State's direct rivals in the race for the top-10, Phoenix and Sacramento, also lost their games, so the status quo for the Warriors remained intact. With a 25-25 record, GSW shares ninth place in the Western Conference with the Kings and Suns.

H2H Meetings

Both face-to-face meetings between the rivals this season ended in victories for the Lakers.

Last championship Golden State took the season series with the Lakers 3-1.
