The Los Angeles Lakers ended 2024 with a loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Now, they look to bounce back and start 2025 with a victory as they host the Portland Trail Blazers. The two teams met just under a month ago with the Lakers holding on for a win despite being without LeBron James and Austin Reaves as Anthony Davis led the way.
