The Los Angeles Lakers struggled in the early going of this season, raising questions about their lack of consistent outside shooting.
Although they’ve since recovered, there still are concerns the Lakers don’t have a deep threat they can rely on. Thus far LeBron James has proven to be the best option, as others have struggled with consistency.
Another team that has faced serious issues this season is the Washington Wizards. They were 8-12 through the first 20 games and entered Sunday’s matchup seven games below .500. Due to internal struggles, it was believed All-Stars John Wall and Bradley Beal became available for trade.
