Lakers vs. Warriors Full Game 5 Injury Report

In this story:
Facing a 3-1 deficit, the Golden State Warriors are looking to keep their season alive on Wednesday night. Hosting Game 5 at Chase Center, the Warriors will look to protect their home court and force a Game 6 in Los Angeles. As for the Lakers, they are looking to head back home with a series win, not for another game with Golden State.
Both teams have released their injury reports for this game, and they once again look the same way they have for most of this series. For the Lakers, they are listing LeBron James and Anthony Davis as probable, and Mo Bamba as questionable. For the Warriors, they are listing Andre Iguodala and Ryan Rollins as out, and Patrick Baldwin Jr. as questionable.
The Warriors have overcome a 3-1 deficit in this dynasty run, defeating the OKC Thunder in 2016; however, this Golden State roster is certainly not that 2016 team. While Steph Curry is still at the peak of his powers in many ways, Klay Thompson has struggled mightily in this series, Draymond Green provides little to no offense, and most of Golden State's role players have underperformed.
If the Warriors are going to overcome a 3-1 deficit, it is going to take much more than what they've gotten from most of their roster up until this point in the series.
