Los Angeles Lakers News
To watch the games played since the beginning of this year, Lakers would surely be in the play-off competition, but this is far from the top eight and probably this season’s play has nothing. But what is visible is progress in the game, so the current 28 wins and 34 defeats are already better than they had in the entire past season (only 26 wins). In each of the five tied wins were extremely effective (average 121.4 points), and if we look at the form in the last two months, Lakers have received 17 of 24 matches.
Although their defense is one of the worst in the league, the attackers are ninth, sixth by the number of assists, and by the number of leaps even another team! In the match against Portland, Spurse was awarded with 116: 112, which was their fourth away win. They are now returning to their Staples Center, where they have an incredible series of nine consecutive wins. A few days ago they released Brewer (signed for Oklahoma), while signing a ten-day contract with Wear’s wing. The problem with injury is Hart and Ingram, and the recovered Ball has returned to them. The recent reinforcement of Thomas’s match starts on the bench but in most matches has a twofold effect when the points are in question.
Lakers’ trusted startup: Ball, Caldwell-Pope, Kuzma (Ingram), Randle, Lopez

When making a survey, we are sure that most NBA fans would not know where Blazers are at the moment. Only 20 days ago, it was thought that this season would be fought for the eighth position, but with great results they have been up to third place in the West and placed immediately behind Rockets and Warriors. They have won the last six games, including Warriors, Oklahoma and Wolves, but there is still no place to relax because the difference between them and the eighth-placed Denver is just two victories.
Portland is currently at 37-26 and are on the right track to improve their performance last season when they had 41-41, but after five seasons, they have stopped the number of wins from the season’s season. When the toy box is in question, Harkless starter is hurt, but Turner is changing for now. Lillard and McCollum continue to lead their team, and Lillard has set a new club record with 45 consecutive matches in which he has scored at least a third.
Blazers’ trusted starting lineup: Lillard, McCollum, Amin, Turner, Nurkić
Alleged initial composition of Red Star: Rochestie, Lazić, Feldeine, Bjelica, Lessort
