“Can the Lakers Complete a Stunning Sweep Over the Warriors? All Eyes on Thursday’s Showdown!”

Also, the Lakers’ lack of size in the frontcourt won’t hurt them here. Reaves is their shortest starter, standing at 6-foot-5. Luka is more of a wing than a guard. LeBron is 6-foot-9, forward Rui Hachimura is 6-foot-8, and C Jaxson Hayes is a 7-footer. Whereas the Warriors’ tallest starter is Butler, who is 6-foot-7. Draymond Green is their starting center and is only 6-foot-6. 

Finally, the Lakers are one of the best home teams in the NBA. They are 23-6 straight up and 19-9 vs. the spread as home favorites with a +5.2 scoring margin. Los Angeles has a bunch of glue guys and 3-and-D players surrounding LeBron, Luka, and Reaves, and typically, role players perform better at home.
