The Lakers Data from LA’s recent loss to the Warriors is some of the most encouraging of any loss this year. Some great individual performances by key players and solid team outings offensively and defensively make this a very interesting game to look into.
After the loss, LA is playing like a 31 win team, up from 30 before this game. These projections are based off of how the team has played so far this season according to my Points Over Expectation data and the calculations Jacob Goldstein put together.
