Before the NBA season got shut down due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Los Angeles Lakers were arguably the hottest team in the league. They comfortably held the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference after back-to-back wins over the Milwaukee Bucks and L.A. Clippers.
Unfortunately, all of their momentum has come to a halt with the rest of the season on hold for more than two months. The NBA has begun talking about a return with Walt Disney World Resort in Florida potentially hosting all games, although the format of the rest of the regular-season and postseason is not yet known.
