The Los Angeles Lakers host the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
Despite playing almost exclusively home games this month, the Lakers (21-22) have continued to struggle. They have had some impressive wins against the Los Angeles Clippers, Oklahoma City Thunder and Dallas Mavericks, but they have also continued to drop contests they should be winning. On Friday, they built an early 12-point lead over the undermanned Brooklyn Nets, only to practically hand the game to the Nets, 130-112.
At 12-29, Portland has the second-worst record in the Western Conference, although it is coming off a 118-115 win over the Indiana Pacers on Friday. It is arguably the worst offensive team in the NBA, and it has been banged up lately.
These two teams have faced off twice this season, with L.A. winning both contests.
