Threats: The re-emergence of the Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers didn't even make the playoffs last season. Despite that, the Los Angeles Lakers are one of the firm favorites for the title this season. They boast two of the finest players in the NBA in their team.
LeBron James and Anthony Davis form the best duo in the NBA at the moment. They are two generational talents capable of changing the landscape of the entire NBA. The Lakers have managed to put them together on the same roster.
They have also surrounded them with a very good supporting cast. Kyle Kuzma will be eyeing a breakout year. DeMarcus Cousins is working hard to once again become a dominant force in the NBA. Avery Bradley and Danny Green are the perfect 3 and D players to compliment the duo of James and Davis.
The Clippers will be facing their biggest threat from their hometown rivals in Los Angeles.
