Lakers host Warriors in Saturday night showdown at Crypto.com Arena

Upcoming Lakers Game: Los Angeles Lakers (31-19) vs. Golden State Warriors (28-24), Tip-Off: Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026 • 5:30 p.m. PT, Credit: Spectrum SportsNet

LOS ANGELES — The Lakers and Warriors meet tomorrow night at Crypto.com Arena. With playoff positioning and momentum at stake, the matchup brings familiar intensity between Los Angeles and Golden State.

As Super Bowl weekend kicks off in the Bay Area, the Warriors make their way down to Southern California. After trading Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield to the Atlanta Hawks for Kristaps Porzingis and their 101-97 win over the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night, the Warriors look to turn things around and continue to make their push in the standings to stay out of the in-season tournament. They currently sit behind the Suns in the 8th spot with a 28-24 record prior to Saturday’s matchup versus Los Angeles.

The Lakers who are currently in 6th place are coming off a comeback win versus the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night and will look to continue building off of that against “The Town’s” Warriors.

Austin Reaves put on a show for the Laker faithful with a smooth 35 points. His presence will be heavily required on Saturday night along with LeBron James as Luka Dončić has been listed as out and will not play this weekend versus the Warriors.

After appearing to suffer a leg injury in the second quarter of Thursday’s game, he would not return in the second half. As a precautionary measure, it is probably best he takes this game off to avoid any further injury. This means the rest of Lakeshow will have to pick up for their teammate and carry on versus Steph Curry and company, who can catch fire at any moment in a game.

We know that whenever these two teams get together, it’s bound to be a star studded affair in the stands and a heated battle on the court. This may also be the last time we see LeBron James battle it out with Stephen Curry as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. As both stars get older, it’s a pleasure to still be able to watch them go out there playing the game at a high level and battling for playoff position. Hopefully this one turns out to be another classic in Los Angeles.

The game will be nationally broadcasted on ABC so there will be more eyes than usual on this matchup but that’s what’s we’ve come to expect from these two storied franchises. I don’t think their fans or the NBA would want it any other way.

Sebastian Fundora versus Keith Thurman rescheduled for March 28,2026 in Las Vegas

PBC Promotions and Prime Video have announced that the fight for the WBC Super Welterweight World Championship between Sebastian Fundora (23-1-1, 15 KO’s) and Keith Thurman (31-1-0, 23 KO’s) has been rescheduled for March 28, 2026. Fundora suffered a hand contusion during sparring last year which effectively postponed the bout originally scheduled to take place on October 25, 2025.

The fight will take place in the boxing capital of the world—Las Vegas, Nevada—at the historic MGM Grand Arena.

Not only will these two have to adjust to each other’s height and reach differences but Thurman, the older of the two, will also have to go up against the youthful stamina of Fundora as he tries to put an end to the 154-pound reign he [Fundora] has been on since becoming champion.

Thurman’s last fight was on March 12,2025 vs Brock Jarvis, which he won by a third-round TKO. It would be his return after a lengthy layoff following his unanimous decision win against Mario Barrios on February 5, 2022. The now 37-year-old knock out artist and former unified champion has his veteran IQ and prowess to help him in this potential banger versus the current champion. Thurman has fought under some big lights and is no stranger to partaking in all out brawls that end up going the distance.

On the other corner, the current 28-year-old southpaw WBC Super Welterweight Champion, Sebastian Fundora looks to continue his success in the already stacked 154-pound division. As Vergil Ortiz Jr., Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, and Xander Zayas—fresh off unifying the WBO and WBA titles—continue to rise in the division, this fight offers Fundora a chance to secure another win over an aging Keith Thurman.

We will stay updated on this fight card as more details begin to emerge over the next few weeks but the hope is that the undercard for this spring time battle in the desert will also deliver from beginning to end. 2026 is gearing up to be a rewarding one for boxing fans.

The Lakers visit the Nets on Tuesday to conclude their eight game Grammy road trip

BROOKLYN, NY — Another Grammy road trip concludes on Tuesday night for the Lakers as they visit Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY to face the Nets. Luka Dončić, who is leading the league in scoring with 33.6 points per game will lead the charge along with LeBron James (21.9 ppg).

DeAndre Ayton, will also look to continue his success in the paint on Tuesday as he leads the team with 8.5 rebounds per game.

The Los Angeles Lakers are currently 29-19 and in sixth place in the West while the Brooklyn Nets hold on to the thirteenth spot in the East at 13-35. This will be their first meeting of the 2025-2026 season after splitting their regular season matchups last season 1-1. The Nets are coming off of a big loss to the Pistons on Sunday, 130-77 while the Lakers are looking to right the ship after their 112-100 loss to the Knicks on Sunday as well.

Austin Reaves is still listed as out on Tuesday with a left calf strain he sustained on Christmas day versus the Rockets. It’s likely that we will not see Austin until the Lakers are back home. They play the Sixers, Warriors, Thunder, Spurs and Mavericks before the All Star Break. Although it’s quite possible that we see Reaves back on the court during one of these home games, not rushing would be the most beneficial move for him and the Lakers as they aim to make a late season run into the playoffs and out of the play-in tournament.

The Lakers’ second unit can have some interesting bursts throughout games but if they are going to compete with the West’s top teams, the supporting cast is going to really have to limit turnovers and make some stops to preserve leads while Luka, LeBron and company get their rest.

Rui Hachimura has to knock down those open looks that he has been getting from three point land while demanding some respect from the defense in the paint or forcing them into fouls. Jaxson Hayes has been having some really fun minutes when he checks in. It seems like lately, we are bound to walk away with a dunk highlight or two from him after every game.

Jarred Vanderbilt is also an interesting one to keep an eye on. His defensive presence along with Marcus Smart’s are two weapons the Lakers desperately need to consistently show up. Both of them also are prone to getting some pretty good open looks at the corners. It makes them a dangerous team from three point land on paper. Gabe Vincent and Jake LaRavia also get those open looks throughout ballgames. Especially when Luka is getting double teamed by defenders.

If everyone can lock in at the same time, this team can really catch some lightning in a bottle once Austin [Reaves] returns and go on a deep run into the postseason. With the trade deadline days away, the Lakers may even be a move or two away from making that happen and changing their trajectory in the standings during the second half of the season.

Big weekend at MSG kicks off with Lopez vs Stevenson

Before the Knicks host the Lakers at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, Teofimo Lopez Jr. and Shakur Stevenson will have the honors of being the main event on Saturday night. Lopez currently holds the WBO super lightweight title and will defend it for the third time, this time against Stevenson.

Teofimo López Jr. vs Shakur Stevenson live on DAZN 1/31/26

Lopez is 22-1, 13 KOs and looking to make the statement as the one Shakur Stevenson, 24-0, 11 KOs, will have to go through if he wants to become the future of boxing. An exciting battle is brewing up in New York City between two young stars of the sport. These two have a history of being in gyms and sparring together, so they know they can expect the other to come out Saturday night with everything they’ve got. As boxing fans, we can only sit back now and enjoy the show.

The fight card is hopefully going to deliver with some big names gracing the lineup. One of the more interesting fights of the night is Bruce Carrington vs Carlos Castro. They will be battling it out for the vacant WBC featherweight title. Bruce is undefeated and Carlos is coming off of a split decision loss to Stephen Fulton last year in September.

Keyshawn Davis makes his return to the ring after being stripped of his title last year for missing weight in his cancelled bout against Edwin De Los Santos. Jamaine Ortiz only has 2 losses and those were against the legendary Vasyl Lomachenko and one of tonight’s headliners, Teofimo Lopez. Even though they wont be fight for a title tonight, watch out for a complete banger of a fight when these two meet in the co-main event of the evening.

Notable Fights of the Night:

Teofimo Lopez Jr. vs. Shakur Stevenson

Keyshawn Davis vs. Jamaine Ortiz

Bruce Carrington vs. Carlos Castro

Jarrell Miller vs. Kingsley Ibeh
