Following the Golden State Warriors‘ victory in Game 5, the Los Angeles Lakers return home for Game 6. The Lakers still lead the series 3-2 and need one more victory to defeat the Warriors. The Warriors were slightly favored to win the series because they were the defending champions. However, things did not go as planned, as they lost the series after Game 4 by a score of 3-1.
LeBron James has experienced many surprises in the playoffs, but he has never in his career given away a 3-1 lead. However, following what transpired in Game 5, there is some ambiguity in the air.On both sides of the floor, Anthony Davis has been the Lakers’ main focus. Due to a head injury, AD was forced to sit out the rest of the contest. For Lakers supporters who are aware of AD’s injuries, this is worrying news.
Anthony Davis is listed as probable for the Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors game
The Lakers’ supporters are aware of AD’s history with injuries. One of the top players on the Lakers’ roster this year is Davis. Only LeBron James and Anthony Davis remain from the championship squad. In Game 5, Davis received a head injury that at first glance appeared to be a contusion, but this is not the case.The status of Davis for tonight’s game against the Warriors is probable.

The Warriors do not have any advantages either because Andrew Wiggins sustained an injury. He has a cartilage fracture and is listed as questionable for Game 6 due to this. The Warriors have already noticed how Wiggins’ addition to the squad has strengthened it. For Game 6, the coach will make the call at the start of the game. Let’s examine the full injury report and anticipated rosters for both clubs.

The Los Angeles Lakers will be favored to put in a solid performance at home
The game can go either way at this point in the series. It might come down to the wire because the Warriors are in danger of losing and the Lakers are playing at home. Lilo the Corgi has now made five accurate predictions, and he believes the Warriors will prevail in Game 7. It might be true, but in the actual world, Crypto.com has recently turned into a stronghold. The Lakers had a lot of encouragement from the crowd in Game 4, which helped their side come out on top 104-101.
In the last game, the Warriors picked apart the Lakers defense after AD was sidelined. With Curry and Davis being the best players for their respective teams, it is up to them. Not forgetting LeBron who will be locked in to avoid the Warriors forcing a Game 7 at the Chase Center which could be a huge worry. We expect the Lakers to finish the tie tonight, to avoid any mishaps.
