The five preseason games of the LA Lakers are set and done. Now, the team is heading to the regular season. Meanwhile, there are still a few questions regarding the Lakers opening lineup that the team needs to answer. As we are heading towards their first season game against the Golden State Warriors, here is what fans can expect from the game.
Lakers Vs. Warriors Lineup Prediction!
If the preseason games are any indicators, then fans can see that the Lakers have been experimenting quite a lot with their squad. Now, the Golden State Warriors, the current NBA champions, will play the Los Angeles Lakers in the season\’s first game on Tuesday night in San Francisco. Darvin Ham, the team\’s head coach, also made the team\’s regular season strategy clear before the start of the season. Because of lower back pain, Anthony Davis skipped the travel to Sacramento for Friday night\’s game there. But Ham said he wouldn\’t be limited for the matchup with the Warriors.
According to Ham, Russell Westbrook, the point guard, will be classified as day-to-day due to a left hamstring issue. In Friday night\’s game, Westbrook came off the bench and only saw five minutes of action. But it was cut short in the first quarter due to an injury. When asked if Russell Westbrook would be available for the first game, Darwin Ham responded, Yes, absolutely.
Lakers Point guard Dennis Schroder availability is also uncertain due to a right thumb injury. He will be examined later on Sunday, according to Ham. He may be sidelined for a while. The preseason matchup against Minnesota on Wednesday night ended with Schroder suffering an injury.
Apparently, Tuesday\’s matchup between LeBron James and the rest of his squad and Golden State should provide some insight into what both fivesomes can offer this season. There is no doubt regarding the starting lineup for Steve Kerr\’s team versus Los Angeles once more. Andrew Wiggings and Kevon Looney will be on the floor with the starting five. This includes the powerhouse Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green for the dunk.
Jordan Poole\’s role as the team\’s sixth player will be crucial for the Golden State squad now that Gary Payton Jr. and Otto Porter Jr. are no longer on the roster. And how the top basketball players in the world, Jonathan Kuminga and James Wiseman, responded in their second season. Additionally, both of these quintets are accustomed to this. In each of their previous four meetings, there was an Over, although the Lakers\’ last 28 road games had seen 20 Overs.
