It's not bad enough that overall, the Golden State Warriors have won six in a row from the Los Angeles Lakers. When the Lakers travel to the Bay area, they don't even get to sit on the dock. They are immediately submerged. Golden State has won 10 in succession from the Lakers on their home court, and just once in that span were the Lakers able to keep the final margin below six points.
There have been some colossal embarrassments along the way. Golden State won by 43 points in 2016 and by a 34-point margin in 2015. There was a 23-point defeat in 2014 and a 31-point drubbing in 2013.
The Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat are both embroiled in a seeding battle in the bottom half of the Eastern Conference, where just two games separate fifth from eighth overall. Both will be looking to take advantage of weaker teams on the road to add to their win column The eighth-seeded Heat (36-32) face the 21-47 Sacramento Kings, while the No. 7 seed Bucks (36-31) the vist the 20-48 Orlando Magic.
