With Round 1 of the NBA Playoffs officially in the books, Round 2 kicks off Tuesday night for the most anticipated series between the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors will host the Lakers on Tuesday night at the Chase Center in San Francisco, as the NBA holders hope to get off to a good start after their dramatic Game 7 victory over the Sacramento Kings last Sunday.
With the Lakers playing at a high level and coming off a 40-point victory over the Grizzlies to advance to the second round and Stephen Curry putting on a show with a 50-point performance against the Kings, everyone is eager to see these two Western Conference heavyweights go head-to-head in a seven-game series.
This playoff series is getting so much attention that ticket prices have skyrocketed, according to NBA Central via Tick Pick.

It’s no surprise that ticket prices are incredibly high for this playoff series between the Warriors and Lakers, where two of the NBA’s most popular stars met again in the postseason.
As expected, the Warriors are the favorites to take the lead in the series and have the home arena advantage, as the first two games were played in San Francisco before the series moved to Los Angeles for Game 3 and 4.
With these two teams firing on all cylinders right now, a second-round playoff series could go that distance and be the best postseason series, as Curry and James lead the way for these storied franchises.
