Date/Time: Wed, Oct 31 / 10:10:00 PM ET, Rose Garden, Portland, ORAfter a loss to the Dallas Mavericks 99-91 on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Lakers now face the Portland Trail Blazers and get to prove why the stellar lineup of Steve Nash, Dwight Howard, and Kobe Bryant works.
Dwight Howard said in a post-game interview. "We're going to chip away, and we're going to get better," that however remains to be seen tonight.
The Lakers bested Portland last season on two of three games, but Portland has been the better overall winning 16 of 20 games against the Lakers at the Rose Garden. The Trail Blazers are 1-3 however against LA in season openers despite not losing an opener since 2008.
The Blazers have some strong players in LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicolas Batum, and Wesley Matthews. And they also have Damian Lillard, who is the early favorite for being named Rookie of the Year.
Game Odds:
Los Angeles Lakers: -2.5 -110, ML -145
Portland Trail Blazer: +2.5 -110, +125
Game Total: 191, 0/u -110
