The Los Angeles Lakers are preparing for a must-win Play-In Game against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, with the winner earning the Western Conference’s No. 7 seed for the playoffs. Given the opponent, plenty of pressure will be on the shoulders of Dennis Schroder, who will be most in charge of handling Curry.
Curry is coming off of arguably one of the best regular seasons of his career, leading the league in scoring at 32.0 points to go along with 5.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists while shooting 42.1% from 3-point range. Schroder, who has made a name for himself this season with pesky defense and active hands, is going to face his toughest test of the season on Wednesday night.
