Portland Trail Blazers 2-0 After Back-To-Back Wins
Portland head to Los Angeles boasting a 100% record, having opened with back-to-back victories.
The Trail Blazers began their campaign at home to Phoenix, and they marked the occasion with a 124-83 blowout of the Suns.
They then backed that up in their road opener in Sacramento, downing the Kings 128-120.
Deni Avdija led the way against the Kings with 26 points, six rebounds and six assists, but he was one of seven players to hit double digits in scoring.
Damian Lillard and Toumani Camara each put up 18 points, while Ja Morant contributed 12.
Los Angeles Lakers Possess Perfect 3-0 Record
Los Angeles return home with their perfect record still intact, having improved to 3-0 on Sunday.
The Lakers began the post-LeBron era with a home game against Golden State, and were able to blow out the Warriors, 127-105.
They then backed up that victory in the battle with city rivals, the Clippers, running out 125-117 winners.
Los Angeles went out on the road for the first time after that, and it proved to be a successful trip as they maintained their flawless record with a 132-123 victory in Utah.
Luka Doncic dominated the Jazz as he poured in 52 points to go along with eight rebounds and 10 assists, while Austin Reaves put up 29 points for the Lakers.
Verdict
Portland are unbeaten and scoring plenty of points, but this is their first real test and we do not like their chances.
Doncic and the Lakers have exploded out of the blocks, and we expect their strong start to continue with another win and cover here.
