The Warriors head to Southern California on Monday to take on a Lakers team that's seen better days.
DeMarcus Cousins will make his second appearance in a Warriors uniform after debuting on Friday, scoring 14 points in a win over the Clippers. The addition of Cousins to an already formidable Golden State team means the Warriors just (somehow) got more terrifying for the rest of the league.

The Lakers have struggled since LeBron James went down with an injury on Dec. 25. In James' absence, Los Angeles has posted a sub-.500 record and lost to several bottom-feeder teams, including the Knicks and Cavaliers.
While recent reports suggest that James may return to practice soon, the Lakers still need every win they can get if they want to make the playoffs in a competitive Western Conference. Making matters worse, Lonzo Ball also is expected to miss 4-6 weeks with an ankle sprain suffered Saturday.
