Tonight, the LA Lakers will take on the Golden State Warriors for the 2nd time in this early NBA season. The Lakers played the Warriors much better than they did in the preseason, but still lost to them on the 1st of November. Although the Warriors are on the 2nd night of a back to back, the Lakers will have their hands full with the Warriors high powered offense. The Lakers will be without Nick Young (thumb surgery), while Steve Nash & Julius Randle have both been ruled out for the season. For a more in depth summary of tonight's match up, check out the game preview: Lakers vs Warriors Preview. Here are tonight's projected starters:
