Lakers vs. Warriors Preview | Take the odds

Mt fellow Laker fans, don't worry! Yes I said it...don't worry. Our defensive stopper in Ron Artest should be back in the lineup. Even if he isn't the Lakers will try to forget a couple of shaky starts in the past three games. The Lakers have given up 15 points in both of the loses.

A night at home against the Golden state Warriors (9-21) should do the trick. The Los Angeles Lakers (24-6) will look to avoid back to back losses for the first time since the 2007-08 season.

This will be the Lakers first game since their embarrassing defeat by the hands of LeBron James and the surging Cleveland Cavaliers. Fans threw foam hands onto the court after several questionable calls and an ejection.

While Golden State is coming off impressive wins against Boston and Phoenix they haven't had a three game winning streak since April 1-5.

The odds say the Lakers by 11.5...take the Lakers. Lakers win by 17 tonight.
