The Lakers will next play against the Magic team in the East, the gap between the strength of the two sides is still there, after all, the Magic is rebuilding the team this season, and the Lakers have performed very well in recent times, since James' return, the Lakers have won more and more. Of course, from the current Lakers' record, 14 wins and 13 losses are not very good, the main reason is because the Lakers players have some injuries, which is also obvious to all, in the Big Three, James and Davis have missed some games because of injuries, and Westbrook Health remains very good.
Davis missed the game because of a knee injury in the last game, and the latest Lakers injury report, the Lakers against the Magic this game, Davis belongs to the state of doubt, that is to say, 50% of the possibility of playing, this depends on the pre-game physical condition to determine, and two people will be absent from this game, that is, Nunn and Ariza, this is what the fans know, and James is in a state of high probability, James is basically able to determine the game, his current physical condition is very good.
This season's Lakers are still a championship team, after all, there are three big three, and the performance of role players is also very good, Anthony, Bradley, Howard, Munch, Ellington and others are very cost-effective players. Injury is the lakers are now facing a problem, this is a difficult thing to control, the Lakers this season the average age of players is relatively large, and Davis although young, but he now mainly plays the No. 5 position, the consumption of the body is still very large.
Vogel is also adjusting the lineup during this time, the previous Lakers small lineup is very good, of course, in a game, the Lakers can not always use the small lineup, because the inside line is one of the Lakers' advantages. The run-in of the Lakers' big three is also getting better and better, Westbrook has a lot of reasonable shots this season, healthy James and Davis are still the top players in the league, how to maximize the strength of the Lakers lineup, this is a problem that Vogel needs to solve.
Wanting to win a championship is certainly not an easy task, last season the Lakers and the Nets were out of the game due to injuries, this season, whether it is the West or the East, is not a dominant situation, there are many teams competing for the championship, so the health of the players is a very important thing. When Davis and James, as well as Westbrook, are on the court, the team will definitely win more easily, and expect the Lakers to win more and more games in the future.
