The Los Angeles Lakers face off against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday evening for this NBA Western Conference clash. The Lakers have a 2-1 record while the Trail Blazers come in at 1-2. Check out our match prediction!

The Lakers will be seeking their third consecutive victory here. After a tough 119-109 home loss to Golden State on opening night, the Lake Show bounced back with wins over the Timberwolves and, most recently, a 127-120 victory over the Kings.

The most impressive part of their recent win was the fact that they did it without Luka Doncic and LeBron James. Luka missed out with a sprained finger and a leg contusion and is set to miss this game as well.

The Slovenian superstar was in scintillating form to start the year, averaging 46.0 points on 62% shooting in the opening two games.

The Trail Blazers were able to stay competitive against the Clippers last night but ultimately fell to a 114-107 loss. The visitors have done a good job at keeping games close against favoured opposition and have had a tough opening schedule, facing the Timberwolves, Warriors and Clippers.

Portland shot the ball really poorly in their last outing, going just 37% from the field and 27% from three, yet still kept the game relatively close.
