The Lakers were able to scrap together a victory against the Trail Blazers Without LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.

The Los Angeles Lakers went into Minnesota and took a 20 point second half lead over the Timberwolves, but needed a buzzer beater to hold on to the win.

Jalen Brunson, Karl Anthony Towns, and the rest of the Knicks will host the undefeated Bulls at 7 ET on NBA League Pass in a rematch of Friday’s Emirates Cup Group Stage game, which Chicago won 135-125.

The Los Angeles Lakers were missing a ton of production on Sunday night. That meant Bronny James had a chance at more run than usual as the Lakers took on the Sacramento Kings. Before Sunday night, Bronny had played just three minutes this season. He didn't get into the game at all in the first half, though.

On Tuesday as they began their season, Luka Dončić greeted the crowd from midcourt pregame. He was easily the Lakers’ best and most important player — 43 points, 12 rebounds, nine assists in nearly 41 minutes to start a year in which plenty of people believe he can win his first Most Valuable Player.

Dončić is off to a historic start with 165 total points through four games — the most by any Lakers player and the most by any NBA player since Wilt Chamberlain’s 205 points in 1962-63. He’s averaging 41.3 points, 11.5 rebounds and 8.3 assists.

JJ Redick has to be frustrated that this problem still exists for the Lakers heading into the new season as seen in their opening night loss.
