These teams, both featuring aging stars, are no longer dominating their conferences, but the Lakers have a clear advantage thanks to the prime form of their best player. Anthony Davis, ranked 7th in the NBA in scoring and 5th in rebounding, is poised to dominate the interior in this matchup. His size and physicality will create a significant mismatch against Golden State’s likely starting lineup, which often features Draymond Green and Trayce Jackson-Davis in the frontcourt. Neither has the size or strength to effectively contain Davis in the paint.
Golden State may need to rely more on Kevon Looney to counter Davis, but that adjustment would come at the expense of their offensive firepower, as Looney is not a scoring threat. Meanwhile, LeBron James, always ready to shine on the big stage, will relish the opportunity to make a statement at 39 years old. His recent critique of the league's reliance on three-point shooting underscores his determination to stand out, particularly in marquee matchups like this one.
The Warriors also face ongoing challenges in their backcourt, struggling to integrate Curry and Schroeder effectively. Both are accustomed to being primary ball handlers, which has hindered their efficiency when sharing the floor. On the other hand, the Lakers' size and physicality, led by Davis, will likely be too much for Golden State to handle in this high-profile Christmas Day clash. Expect the Lakers to exploit their interior advantage and come away with the win. Take the LA Lakers ML
