With the first round of the NBA playoffs officially in the books, the second round will get underway on Tuesday night for arguably the most anticipated series between the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors will host the Lakers on Tuesday night at the Chase Center in San Francisco, with the defending NBA champions hoping to get off to a good start following the dramatic Game 7 win over the Sacramento Kings last Sunday.
With the Lakers playing at a high level and coming off a 40-point win over the Grizzlies to advance to the second round and Stephen Curry putting on a show with a 50-point performance against the Kings, everyone is itching to see these two Western Conference heavyweights go head-to-head in a seven-game series.
This playoff series is getting so much attention that ticket prices have soared, according to NBA Central via Tick Pick.

It is no surprise that ticket prices would be incredibly high for this playoff series between the Warriors and Lakers, with two of the NBA’s most popular superstars meeting again in the postseason.
As expected, the Warriors are the favorite to come out on top in this series and have homecourt advantage, with the first two games being played in San Francisco before the series shifts to Los Angeles for Game 3 and Game 4.
With these two teams firing on all cylinders right now, this second-round playoff series could go the distance and be the best postseason series, with Curry and James leading the way for these storied franchises.
