The Los Angeles Lakers are coming off a rather disappointing season. They failed to defend their crown as they saw their exit in the first round of the playoffs. However, injuries came raining down on their stars at the most crucial time, causing their downfall. However, the story for this season is completely different.
The Lakers added some serious firepower in free agency. Notably, All-Star point guard, Russell Westbrook, will suit up for his hometown this season. His 22 points per game along with 11 assists will come big with strong interior players. There is no doubt that LeBron James and co. are on a mission to repeat their 2020 success this season and win another title.

Key matchups this season
October 22- vs Phoenix Suns: The opportunity to get their revenge will arise right at the initial part of the season. The Suns took the Lakers out in the playoffs last season. Having no Anthony Davis, the King’s efforts couldn’t get them through. However, they return at full strength and more this season and will look for vengeance against Phoenix.
November 17- vs Milwaukee Bucks: The Bucks are the defending champions of the NBA. Hence, with both teams looking to win the crown, their battle will answer many questions. With a new look on the Lakers, this will be their first test playing as a team to see how they can truly perform on the big stage. With eyes all glued on this matchup, it is anyone’s game.
