The entire NBA world has its eyes set on the marquee matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night.

Not only is the game massive for both team's playoff implications, but fans will get the chance to see LeBron James face off against Steph Curry for a final time this regular season.

The Los Angeles Lakers have officially upgraded LeBron James from probable to available against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night. He was listed as dealing with a groin strain.

The Los Angeles Lakers currently have a 3-0 regular season series lead over the Golden State Warriors.
