After a four-plus month break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2019-2020 NBA season will officially restart this Thursday. A 22-team league that will resume actions in Orlando, Florida, in the “bubble” and following strict health protocols to keep players, referees, and staff safe.
One of the games with which the NBA kicks off again will be the marquee matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers. Potential title contenders and Western Conference finalists will begin their battle in the bubble.
The two best teams in the West are looking to start again with a win so they can get on track for the playoffs.
