The Los Angeles Lakers will take on the Sacramento Kings in former head coach Luke Walton’s first game back in Los Angeles with a very depleted roster filled with injuries.
The Lakers are in the midst of their best start since a decade and are only now entering a relatively easy stretch of the 2019-20 NBA season schedule where they will play eight straight games against teams currently under .500. While it’s never easy to win eight games in a row, this might be the stretch to do it for the Lakers.
If they want to do that, they’ll have to at least get it started without Avery Bradley, as it was announced he would be missing at least 1-2 weeks with a hairline fracture in his right leg.
