This game will be a rematch of last year's NBA Western Conference playoffs, won by Minnesota. Luka Doncic had a big game as he dropped 43 points against Golden State last night, but without LeBron James in the lineup, there wasn't enough help, as the Lakers fell by 10 points to the Golden State Warriors. Minnesota rallied last night in the 4th quarter to pick up a win on the road at Portland. I think beating outstanding teams will be a tall order for the Lakers in the early going, and once again, LeBron James will be sidelined. Even though James is out, I like the Lakers here.
