The Golden State Warriors are hosting the Los Angeles Lakers for the second time this season after losing their first encounter on Christmas day.

On Christmas, the Warriors unfortunately fell to the Lakers with a final score of 115-113. Steph Curry led the Warriors with 38 points on 56% field goal shooting and hit the game-tying three-pointer with seven seconds left in the game. Austin Reaves, however, killed the momentum of the Curry three with his game-winning layup.

The Warriors will be looking for retribution tonight, but they have a few key players listed on the injury report that could hamper their chances. The Warriors have five players listed: Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Gary Payton II, and Brandin Podziemski.

Draymond Green is listed as OUT as he deals with a left calf strain.

Andrew Wiggins is listed as PROBABLE while he deals with bilateral lower back soreness.
