OAKLAND, California (Ticker) -- The Los Angeles Lakers are the undisputed kings of California. The Golden State Warriors would like to oust them from the throne.

The Lakers go for their ninth win in 10 games on Wednesday when they visit the well-rested Warriors.

Los Angeles is 7-1 in eight games against in-state rivals this season, suffering its only loss against the Sacramento Kings on December 9.

After having a seven-game win streak snapped against the Utah Jazz in their last game before the All-Star break, the Lakers bounced back with a dominating 96-83 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday.

All-Star Pau Gasol recorded his first triple-double of the season and Lamar Odom added 15 points and 20 rebounds.

Gasol had 12 points, 13 boards and 10 assists en route to his third career triple-double while Odom continued his stellar play in Andrew Bynum's absence, registering 17 or more rebounds for the fourth straight game.

Golden State is seeking its first four-game win streak this campaign after claiming a 105-98 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday.
