Just when things seemed to start going well for the Lakers with five wins in six games, physical ailments in Anthony Davis and LeBron James are once again affecting the team.
Davis, a mainstay of Los Angeles’ comeback over the past week and a half, could only play eight minutes against Cleveland due to physical issues, will not play against Toronto, and is doubtful for Friday’s game against Philadelphia. As for James, he finished the game against the Cavaliers, but was inactive for the game against the Raptors.
Without them, the team depends on what Russell Westbrook can do, who has performed much better than last year, but is still far from what the Lakers expected.
Offensively, the team has improved its shooting performance from the field, but is still among the worst in the league from long distance. Their 114.2 points per game rank 12th in the league, but they can do little if they give their opponents an average of 115.2 goals per game.

The 76ers are not going through a very good moment with three consecutive losses, so what better way to get out of trouble with a win at home against the Lakers. This Friday, Philadelphia begins a seven-game stay in front of its fans after an unproductive tour that left negative results in the three games they played.
While they were crushed by the Cavaliers and then struggled against the Grizzlies, the toughest loss came last Monday when they lost in double overtime to the Rockets, second to last in the Western Conference standings.
During the road trip, the 76ers were unable to show why they are the second-lowest scoring team with 107.6 points allowed per game, as all of their opponents scored over 113.
What they did show is why they are one of the lowest scoring offenses in the league by registering 85 points against Cleveland, their lowest point total of the season. Something that is not really explained very well considering that they have in their ranks great scorers such as Joel Embiid, James Harden and Tobias Harris.
