Remaining on 5 wins and 5 losses, Frank Vogel’s players are progressing in slow motion and are far from their objectives. Very effective in attack with the 5th best record in the league, while Los Angeles averaged 111.7 points per game this season, the Lakers are weighed down by their defensive record, while with 113.3 points conceded per game this season they are only the 27th defense in the NBA.

Russell Westbrook is still as comfortable in the different areas of play and, during this confrontation between 2 of the best attacks in the league, the point guard should have fun. Seeing him pull off a performance above 33.5 seems logical given his stats this season.
