As the seeding race in the Western Conference continues to heat up down the final stretch run of the regular season, the Golden State Warriors see themselves up against another playoff-caliber team to end their six-game road swing. On Thursday, the No. 5 seed Warriors will meet a familiar foe, the No. 3 seed Los Angeles Lakers.
While Steph Curry and LeBron James will headline the star-studded battle, Thursday's edition of Golden State's rivalry with Los Angeles will introduce Jimmy Butler and Luka Doncic. Both the Warriors and Lakers were heavy players at the trade deadline, acquiring star players like Butler and Doncic. Thursday's matchup will feature Curry and Butler against James and Doncic for the first time in a potential playoff preview, with the results likely playing a role in postseason seeding.
