I'll probably be at that game. Honda Center is decent and you should be able to get some cheap seats via StubHub. Parking around the arena gets bottlenecked badly, so maybe be prepared to have a drink or two after the game at the bar across the street afterwards.
Friday rush hour traffic in LA/OC can be pretty brutal, so maybe aim to be there really early or see if you can jump on the Amtrak. Although since it's California, our public transportation is pretty crappy so you probably want to have your car.
One trick I learned was to park at the Amtrak station by Angels Stadium. It's about a ten/fifteen minute walk to Honda Center, but it's free and you'd save the $15 to park at the arena. Although walking back at night feels a little sketchy since there's one crosswalk that is by a freeway entrance and there are quite a few bad drivers out there who won't yield to pedestrians.
