Dec 28, 2019 128 - 120 Lakers

Jan 31, 2020 119 - 127 Lakers

This is a series that most fans are excited about. Blazers are not supposed to be an 8th seed team but due to injuries they had to fight their way.

Lakers dominated the Blazers the first two matchups with their size. Lillard and the Blazers responded with a win in the third meeting, which was the first Lakers game after Kobe’s untimely death.

Lakers is going to miss the defense of Bradley and Rondo against the high scoring duo of Lillard and McCollum. Blazers will also put Nurkic and Whiteside on AD. The question will be who will guard LeBron and do a good job of making it hard for him to facilitate.

Kyle Kuzma will also be a factor as he has grown leaps as evidenced by his play since the restart.
