The LA Lakers and Golden State Warriors are playing on the NBA schedule on Tuesday and the matchup is on TV from TNT and starts at 10:30 pm ET from Oracle Arena. The Warriors are coming in undefeated at 15-0 and will look to continue their strong start to the season as Kobe Bryant, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson battle.
The Lakers have two wins this season and they will try and give the Warriors the first loss, but that will be very tough to do on the road. The Warriors are averaging over 110 points per game and they have an average point differential of plus-14 against teams this season. The Warriors come in after wins against the Nuggets, Bulls, Clippers and Raptors from last week and now they get things started up again with the Lakers.
Stephen Curry has continued to play at an MVP level and the team appears to be not totally satisfied with winning 67 games and the championship last season. Draymond Green said the team wants to win another title and Curry has said that the team feels they can go all the way for a second straight year. The Warriors are going for a record start this season and they now face the Lakers, a team with 11 losses and two wins that ranks near the bottom of the league in offense and defense.

Kobe Bryant was asked about the potential of giving the Warriors their first loss of the season and he said "you never know," although right now it seems like an impossible task. The Warriors had Andrew Bogut out for a little bit of time with a concussion and Klay Thompson also dealt with a back injury, but overall the team has been healthy and even with Steve Kerr sidelined after back surgery, the Warriors have not missed a beat.
Coming up the Warriors have a fairly soft schedule, but they will be going on a big road trip towards the east coast. The team has the Lakers at home before playing the Suns on the road and after playing the Kings at home, the team will be on the road until mid-December. The team has the Hornets, Raptors, Nets, Pacers, Celtics and Bucks on the road and then they will return home for a decent stretch into the end of the month of December. There is a chance the team could be undefeated when they play the Cavaliers on Christmas.
