The Golden State Warriors are on the road on Thursday night as they face off against the Los Angeles Lakers to complete their six-game road trip.
Of course, Thursday's matchup is a major one for both side as the Warriors sit just two games behind the Lakers for the third seed in the Western Conference standings but they also sit just half of a game ahead of the Memphis Grizzlies for eighth in the West.
Golden State enters Thursday's game amid a three-game winning streak and they have also won seven of their last 10 games.
They will now look to keep things rolling against a Lakers squad that has won six of their last 10 contests including two consecutive.
Unfortunately for the Warriors, they may once again be without their young forward Jonathan Kuminga in Thursday's game against the Lakers as he is listed as questionable.
Jonathan Kuminga is questionable for the Warriors tomorrow at Lakers. Gary Payton II is out. LeBron James is probable. Both teams should have full or near full rotations.

Kuminga is listed as questionable due to a pelvic contusion that he suffered in Sunday's victory over the San Antonio Spurs after he suffered a hard fall.
Of course, Kuminga was sidelined in Tuesday's victory over the Memphis Grizzlies and he is now in danger of missing his second consecutive contest on Thursday against Los Angeles.
If he is sidelined, expect Moses Moody, Gui Santos and Buddy Hield to continue to see a larger role.
Golden State has also ruled out Gary Payton II due to a torn ligament in his left thumb that has sidelined him indefinitely.
For the Lakers, they may be without their superstar forward LeBron James in Thursday's matchup against the Warriors.
James is listed as probable due to a groin injury but he is likely to play barring a setback before tipoff.

Fans can catch Thursday's matchup between the Warriors and Lakers at 10:00 p.m. EST on TNT.
