The Los Angeles Lakers will be wrapping up the preseason against the Golden State Warriors. Here are three players to watch.
On Friday night, the Los Angeles Lakers will be getting their final tuneup for the regular season, as they will be facing the Golden State Warriors once again.
The Lakers are coming off a win against the Warriors in Las Vegas, and they will be hoping to do the same when they face them on Friday night. In the win earlier in the week, the stars were certainly out in Las Vegas.
We got to see LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, and Stephen Curry all in that game, and they certainly put on a show in Las Vegas. In addition to the stars playing, we also saw the preseason debut of Lonzo Ball. Coming off of a summer knee surgery, Ball was able to help contribute to the win for the Lakers.
While wins and losses aren’t huge in the preseason, it still can be an indication of how the team performed. As expected in the preseason, we have seen a lot of strange lineups for the Lakers, as they will clearly be playing a lot of small ball when the regular season starts.
Since this is the final time we will see the Lakers before the regular season starts, it will be important to get some of the regulars some more chemistry together. Due to Ball missing time, having him playing with new teammates will be important, as he is a key member of the team moving forward. Unfortunately, a lot of players will not be suiting up tonight for the Lakers.
With the regular season almost upon us, here are three players to watch in the preseason finale.
