Both hailing from the Pacific division, the Warriors are comfortably ahead of the pack at the moment with a stellar record, while the Lakers are dead last and are struggling to get wins despite an improved 2016 from them.

There is a clear difference of talent between the two teams, with the Warriors having stars like Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson in the line-up.

However, other players have grown on their own like Andre Iguodala, Harrison Barnes and, most importantly, Draymond Green who has been a steady performer with triple-doubles in multiple occasions already this season.

On the other hand, the Lakers have good players such as Lou Williams, Nick Young, Roy Hibbert, Jordan Clarkson and D'Angelo Russell but they still lack the right chemistry to turn games into wins.

Add Kobe Bryant to the mix and the team can be dangerous but still possess few weapons to match teams like the Warriors.

It was evident in the first meeting at the ORACLE Arena when the Warriors thrashed their rivals 111-77.

The game was over in the first quarter when the high octane offense of the Warriors scored 30 points, while they only allowed the Lakers to score 11.

The same continued in the third quarter when Golden State poured on 35 points, while the Lakers only had 17 to answer back.

Curry had 24 points and nine assists to lead the Warriors, while Julius Randle had 10 points and six rebounds in the loss.
