The Golden State Warriors are hosting the Christmas Day game against the Los Angeles Lakers tonight at the Chase Center in their first meeting of the season. Last season, the Warriors took the series three games to one, while the Lakers took the series three games to one the year before. Christmas Day games are always highly anticipated, but this game holds more weight than most due to the star power of Steph Curry and LeBron James.

The Warriors are coming into this game with a relatively clean injury report with one player listed: Gary Payton II.
