Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton are both set to make their debut for the Los Angeles Lakers in front of the fans inside the Crypto.com Arena on New Year’s Ever. But their first game won’t be an easy one as the Lakers are set to host the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have the best record in the NBA.
The Lakers have won six of their last eight thanks largely to an improved defense and the belief is that both Finney-Smith and Milton will help improve that even further. They will be in for a stiff test on night one as the Cavaliers’ offense is an elite one that ran the Lakers off the court in their first meeting this season.
