NBA fans are about to get a monster battle of skills as the Los Angeles Lakers face off against the Golden State Warriors.
Just a few months ago, many people didn’t think either team would make it this far.
Now they are about to enter the Western Conference Semifinals and all eyes will be on them.
Will LeBron James or Stephen Curry come out on top?
Skip Bayless has made his official prediction.
“I have Lakers in 6. LeBron is the driving force of his team and I look for AD to do to Kevon Looney what he did to Sabonis,” Bayless said.
Who wins: Lakers or Warriors?

Bayless said that there are many factors at work for each team, including Anthony Davis, Klay Thompson, and others.
Bayless is curious to see if Davis can shut down Kevon Looney in the way that Looney minimized Domantas Sabonis in Game 7 on Sunday.
He is also interested to see what Draymond Green, Jarred Vanderbilt, and others can do for their respective teams.
At the end of the day, however, he believes this will mostly be a fight between James and Curry.
Not only will they possibly lead their teams in points, but they will also be the focal point of the team’s morale and determination.
Even the most casual fans will be tuning into the series because of these two big names.
This match-up is one that is making the NBA – and the television networks – very happy.
It is worth noting that the Lakers have beaten the Warriors three out of four times during the season.
The three wins came after the Lakers were radically transformed by big trades.
Is that an indication that they can win again in the second round?
