The Los Angeles Lakers may be struggling as a unit so far this season. They have a record of five wins and 11 losses, and have the second worst record in the Western Conference. Only the Houston Rockets at three wins and 14 losses are worse. It has also been documented over the last week about the Lakers’s struggles on the road. They are currently the only team that has not won a road game this season, as they are 0-6.
One positive spark plug in Los Angeles this season is their big man, center Anthony Davis, who has been an absolute beast.
