The game tips off at 10 p.m. ET and can be seen on TNT.
It’s the opening night in the NBA, so both teams are hoping for fresh starts after the way last season ended. The Warriors lost the play-in tournament and missed the playoffs completely. Injuries derailed the Lakers’ chances in the first round of the playoffs against the Phoenix Suns.
Russell Westbrook, LeBron James and Anthony Davis played two games together in the preseason, but now everything counts, so the intensity will be high.
Warriors at Lakers notable injuries:
The Lakers will not have Trevor Ariza, Wayne Ellington and Talen Horton-Tucker. Kendrick Nunn and Malik Monk will be game-time decisions.
Golden State will be without Klay Thompson, James Wiseman and rookie Jonathan Kuminga.

- Over-under: 237.5
Advice and prediction
When the key players play for all four quarters, it should be a close game similar to the play-in matchup. This game could teeter either way, but the Lakers should pull off a win and cover the spread. Both units boasted top of the league’s top defenses last year, so go under.
Prediction: Lakers 114, Warriors 109
