After the initial stumble against the Golden State Warriors, the LA Lakers have stolen two back-to-back wins. And after a solid 127-120 win against the Sacramento Kings last night, the Lakers will host the Portland Trail Blazers in their first back-to-back game of the season. While L.A. will hope to improve upon its 2-1 record this season, it will be an uphill battle for them tonight. Not even a month into the season, the historic franchise is already without LeBron James, and now there are question marks around others as well.
This includes their shooting guard, Austin Reaves. The 27-year-old put up a sensational performance last night as he erupted for 51 points against the Kings. Not just that, Reaves also grabbed 11 rebounds and dished out 9 assists to wrap up his career-high night. B
