The Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors are going to battle on Thursday night in what is expected to be another regular-season classic.
Both teams are still fighting for positioning in the Western Conference with both sides having just seven games remaining in the regular season, including Thursday's matchup.
At the moment, the Lakers are third in the conference with a 46-29 record, while the Warriors are fifth at 44-31. A lot can still happen in the final couple of weeks of the campaign, which is why a lot will be riding on Thursday's game.
LeBron James is locked in on his upcoming clash with Steph Curry and Co. Hours before tip-off, the NBA's all-time leading scorer sent a strong two-word message via Instagram.
"I'm. H.I.M." James captioned a video of himself vibing to some tunes while inside his car.

James and the Lakers are coming off back-to-back wins, and they are fully intent on making it three in a row as they look to strengthen their grip on the third seed in the West.
The Warriors, though, are just two games behind the Lakers in the standings and will be looking to close the gap against their rivals.
Curry is coming off a mind-blowing 52-point performance from their 134-125 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday, and the former back-to-back MVP will want to keep his foot on the gas against a familiar foe.
This should be a good one.
