LA Clippers
Starting Lineup
- Russell Westbrook
- Paul George
- Kawhi Leonard
- Nicolas Batum
- Ivica Zubac
Key Bench Players
- Terance Mann
- Bones Hyland
- Norman Powell
Season Overview: Well, here we go again. The most exciting team on paper that has yet to materialize on the court. I’m not saying they haven’t played well on the court, but they’ve barely played. Paul George and Kawhi Leonard continue to be plagued by injuries, but if by some miracle they are able to remain healthy into the playoffs this year I could see the Clippers being a dangerous team in the West.
The starting lineup is loaded, and the bench has an explosive scoring aspect that other teams don’t have.
Los Angeles Lakers
Starting Lineup
- D’Angelo Russell
- Austin Reaves
- LeBron James
- Rui Hachimura
- Anthony Davis
Key Bench Players
- Gabe Vincent
- Jarred Vanderbilt
- Christian Wood
- Jaxson Hayes
- Taurean Prince
- Cam Reddish
Season Overview: Time is running out for LeBron James, and he knows it. The Los Angeles Lakers made some sneaky good additions this offseason by bringing Taurean Prince, Cam Reddish, and Jaxson Hayes into the fold. While they may not get many minutes when the team is fully healthy, it gives the team good depth and players to turn to when Anthony Davis or LeBron needs the night off.
Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura continue to improve and impress, and Gabe Vincent should be able to help off the bench. This is a championship-caliber team.
