The Golden State Warriors will look to keep things rolling on Thursday night as they wrap up their six-game road trip against the Los Angeles Lakers.

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 extend their winning streak on the road against a Lakers team that has won six of their last 10 games including two straight.

Of course, Thursday’s matchup is a major one for both sides as the Warriors trail the Lakers by just two games in the Western Conference standings and Golden State also sits just half of a game ahead of the Memphis Grizzlies for the eighth seed in the West.

Unfortunately for the Warriors, they may once again be without their young forward Jonathan Kuminga on Thursday night as he is listed as questionable due to a pelvic contusion.

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 suffered the injury in Sunday’s victory over the San Antonio Spurs after he took a hard fall. The 22-year-old forward then missed Tuesday’s victory over the Grizzlies and he is now in danger of missing his second consecutive contest.

Of course, Kuminga has missed a ton of time this season due to injuries as he has played in only 41 games for Golden State this season.

When he has been healthy, he has played a key role for the Warriors as Kuminga is averaging 16.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game while shooting 45.5% from the field and 31.9% from three-point range.

Because of this, it would be a massive blow to the Warriors if he was out again on Thursday in a massive matchup against the Lakers but expect Golden State to be cautious with the young forward to make sure that he is fully healthy before their playoff run.

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