Some are likely to be affected more than others, that much is clear, although the Los Angeles Lakers are expected to take it all in their stride, as they seek to remain on track to land the NBA Championship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before the season was halted, the LA Lakers were by far the dominant team in the NBA Western Conference. Winning 49 games and losing just 14, their .778 win percentage eclipsed everyone else. Indeed, the only team capable of topping that record was the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference, posting an impressive 53 wins and just 12 losses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having been the two strongest teams throughout the regular season, the Lakers and the Bucks are inevitably favorites heading towards the playoffs. In the NBA Futures 2019\/20 markets, the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">latest basketball odds price the Lakers +225 for the Championship<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with the Bucks not far behind at +240 thanks to their excellent run of results.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Two years ago today, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KingJames?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@KingJames<\/a> signed with the Lakers \ud83d\udc51<\/p>\n<p>Will he deliver a title to Hollywood? <\/p>\n<p>(via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@NBA<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AMy77kSmwT\">pic.twitter.com\/AMy77kSmwT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; ESPN (@espn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/espn\/status\/1278337098152632320?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 1, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Clippers at +325 are tipped as the best contenders. What makes things even more interesting is that when the season resumes, the Clippers will face the Lakers at the end of July. Although the outcome of that game won\u2019t ultimately influence the playoff seedings, it will give a great insight into the form of both teams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no doubt the Lakers will miss their influential guard Avery Bradley, who opted out of playing at the NBA restart in Orlando. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nba\/story\/_\/id\/29355391\/lakers-avery-bradley-opts-nba-restart-cites-family-concerns\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He cited family concerns according to ESPN<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and his quality performances will certainly leave a huge gap to fill. Nevertheless, the have Alex Caruso and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, which means they still have plenty of cover.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, the Lakers have signed J.R. Smith as an extra guard option for the team. Although the 34-year-old hasn\u2019t played for two years, despite the inevitable criticism and questioning of what he can contribute, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thesportsdaily.com\/2020\/06\/30\/jr-smith-sends-a-message-to-his-critics-after-signing-with-lakers\/\" ><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smith still remains confident in his own abilities<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cDon\u2019t assume you know me by what you heard.

LeBron James still tops the charts for assists per game, Anthony Davis is amongst the best for blocks per game, while the team itself revolves around this dynamic duo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GM Rob Pelinka and head coach Frank Vogel have created a genuine team of ballers and bullies, one that\u2019s proving incredibly difficult to stop, bucking trends that have shaped the style of modern basketball.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those reasons, it\u2019s hard to look beyond the Lakers finishing what they started. As an organization, they\u2019ve had to wait a long time by their typically ambitious standards, yet this year it almost seems like destiny that the Lakers will claim their first NBA Championship since 2010, ready to embark upon what could potentially be another era of dominance.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the NBA season resumes, all eyes will be focused on how teams adapt to their new circumstances and surroundings&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":1135215,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[703639074],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.6 (Yoast SEO v22.6) -
