Lakers' Injury Report
The Los Angeles Lakers will be without Anthony Davis, who is out with a right calf strain. LeBron James is also questionable with a left ankle sprain. Kendrick Nunn and Dennis Schroder are both out with knee injuries.
Impact on the Game
The absence of Curry and Davis is a major blow to both teams. Curry is the Warriors' leading scorer and playmaker, while Davis is the Lakers' second-leading scorer and rebounder. Both players are essential to their teams' success.
The Warriors will need to find a way to replace Curry's production, while the Lakers will need to find a way to slow down Curry's Splash Brother, Klay Thompson. The Lakers will also need to find a way to replace Davis' production, which could mean more minutes for Dwight Howard or Damian Jones.
