The NBA is back with two games on Tuesday's opening night, including the Golden State Warriors vs. LA Lakers matchup at the Crypto.com Arena. Both teams had different stories in the offseason, but they are looking to get their season going with a win.

Coach Steve Kerr initially said that he might not use a small ball lineup due to the NBA embracing the big men again. However, Kerr still went small to start the new season with a lineup of Steph Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Jimmy Butler, Jonathan Kuminga and Draymond Green.

On the other hand, coach JJ Redick had to make adjustments because of LeBron James' injury. Redick also went with a smaller lineup consisting of Luka Doncic, Gabe Vincent, Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura and Deandre Ayton.
