Los Angeles is in a much better scheduling spot here. The Lakers have had two days of rest and are coming off a stretch where they played four home games in five games. Golden State had to play four straight difficult road games and is now having to play the back-end of a back-to-back. The Lakers have covered in four of their last five games and have won four of the last five head-to-head meetings between these teams. James always turns it up a notch when he faces Curry in a star-studded matchup. Los Angeles is continuing to figure out how to play without Davis.
