Lakers absences!
These are the players who are part of the team's injured list: None.
LeBron James, player to watch!
Year 21 for the top figure of the Los Angeles Lakers, who will seek to get the Los Angeles team to the Playoffs again. The Lakers star finished the regular season in a great moment, leading the team on offense with an average of 30.3 points, 8.2 assists and 6.2 rebounds per game. Although LeBron had a great season and was among the MVP candidates, this could not reflect his great year for the Los Angeles team. The physical condition of the team was one of the big problems and this led the board to rejuvenate the squad around its best player. Lebron's connection with Austin Reaves and the health of Anthony Davis will be critical to this team's aspirations. The King is one of the candidates for the MVP of the regular season, the doubts focus more on what the Lakers can do.
How does the Lakers arrive?
The Los Angeles team continues the regular season with a record of 42 wins and 33 losses to place itself in tenth place behind the Kings, and they want to aspire to get through the Play-In, if the Los Angeles team enters the playoffs, these They could aspire to be one of the big surprises in the postseason by having a very competitive squad. The Los Angeles team fell in the conference final against the Nuggets and failed to add another title the previous season. The Lakers' campaign was full of injuries and constant news about the bad relationship between some former players with the coaching staff and Lebron James. After Darvin Ham's great campaign, free agency began with the mission of rejuvenating the squad and forming a competitive team. Players like Jaxon Hayes, Prince Tauren, Cam Reddish, Gabe Vincent and Christian Wood arrived. The team's mission for this year is to have a good season and get into the playoffs to fight for the championship again. At the moment it seems that the team will not make any more important moves and will focus on giving the LeBron-Davis-Reaves trio one more chance. The Lakers are one place away from being able to show that level and, although they do not depend on themselves, they have to continue winning and wait for losses from the Kings to be able to climb one more place.
Wizards absences!
These are the players who are part of the team's injured list: None.
Kyle Kuzma, player to watch!
The Washington guard is going at a good pace with his record of 20.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 12.3 assists per game, becoming the team's points and rebounds leader. Kuzma is one of the most important pieces of the Wizards and finished last season as the team's leading scorer, which led him to be considered among the best in the league. Kuzma has shown that he can be a great offensive orchestrator and many teams have shown interest in him, which could lead to him being traded to a franchise that is fighting for the title. Since his arrival, the guard has not disappointed and has taken on the role of team leader, now together with Jordan Poole and Deni Avdijar they will seek to get out of the bottom of the Eastern Conference table.
How does the Wizards get there?
The Washington team begins a new season after being left out of the Playoffs the previous year and arrives in fourteenth place in the Eastern Conference. The Wizards appear with a record of 14 wins and 62 losses, already without any possibility of Playoffs and with a project that could not live up to the challenge after suffering the loss of Bradley Beal. The Wizards are a team that started the year with the goal of getting into the playoffs this season, this is because it seemed difficult for them to fight for a position at the top of the Conference, but they could surprise the best in each conference and place among the last classified or arrive via the Play-In. However, the team could not achieve its objectives and are already thinking about the next NBA season and the 2024 draft to try to change the player base and look for new objectives. For this season the Wizards kept much of the team and a solid base with Kyle Kuzma, Jordan Poole, Dani Avdija, Tyus Jones and Daniel Gafford. Washington's goal is to try to show improvement against teams like Toronto, Brooklyn and Hawks, teams against which they will compete to make the playoffs next year.
