Key Matchup of the Game:
VS.
I'm sure Iguodala will play with a very big effort for his team but In our last game against the Sixers, Kobe has groin injury so he was not able to score 20+ points but thanks to Bynum and Lamar for having a good game.
Now, Lamar is out for the game so that is bad news but It's a little bit better to not have Lamar and having a healthy Kobe than having Lamar and having an injured Kobe. I think Kobe would have 30+ in this game.
Keys to Win the Game:
-Kobe for 25-30
-Ariza on Iguodala
-Bynum should outscore Dalembert
-Defense, Defense, Defense
-High FG%
-Bynum for 20+
-Fisher for 15+
