Who will get the upper hand in Los Angeles?
The marquee game of the night will feature the two Los Angeles teams, Lakers and Clippers, squaring off for the first of what many expect to be many meetings in the NBA’s restart bubble. These are two teams that many expect to see face-off in the Western Conference Finals and we’re going to get a sneak peek tonight.
Which Los Angeles team will get the upper hand? Both the Clippers and Lakers (assuming Anthony Davis plays) will be heading into this game as healthy as they’ve ever been. Even though the Clippers will be missing Lou Williams, this game could give us a good indication of how these teams will stack up against each other in a potential playoff series.
Yes, these two teams played each other during the regular season, but we are so far removed from those matchups that they almost feel like they were played in an entirely different season.
Will it be the Lakers or Clippers that take first blood in the Orlando bubble? And will it set the tone for the remainder of the NBA’s restart? There is plenty to watch for tonight in what will be celebrated around the country. The NBA is back.
