LA Lakers
USALakers started the pre-season with a defeat. Los Angeles team got beaten by the Sacramento Kings (75:105). During the off-season club's board decided to let Frank Vogel go. Darwin Ham took over as the new head coach.
Los Angeles team had all of their key players for the match against the Kings. Anthony Davis and LeBron James took part in the game. Davis scored only 11 points, while The King tallied only four points. With such a dreadful performance it will be hard to fight for the championship title.

Tip and bets
Seems like Lakers are far from the end of their crisis. It is uncertain, whether they will be able to gain form before the start of regular season. Lakers are still terrible on the offense. We are not expecting a victory from them in the match against Phoenix.
Our prediction - Handicap (-2) points on Phoenix
In the previous season Phoenix Suns were known as a great defensive team. Monty Williams' men will probably pick a defensive approach for the match against the Lakers. Los Angeles team is unlikely to score many points today.
