On a Tuesday day in the NBA where a total of 14 games will be played, Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors will surely star in what will be the most mediatic of all. With so much at stake between the two Western Conference teams, the show will be served. LeBron James and Stephen Curry, despite not having played the last game of their respective teams, will be the two stars of the night.

The Warriors will play the visitors in a crucial game. If the Bay Area franchise wants to finish the regular season higher than their current 10th place, where they currently sit with a 43-35 record, they must beat the Lakers, as the Los Angeles franchise is currently in 9th place with a 45-34 record.

On the other hand, the Lakers cannot afford to lose the game either. The Angelina franchise still has a chance to catch even the 6th place Phoenix Suns (46-32), although it is very complicated considering how little is left and that, ahead of them, they have Sacramento Kings, 8th with 45-33, and New Orleans Pelicans, 7th with 46-32. However, their main goal is to stay away from GSW and be able to reach at least the 8th place.
