The Lakers' schedule is very strange and unbalanced. I wonder if other teams' schedules are just as head-scratching.

There's probably more, but some of the odd things I noticed:

November
Play TOR both times in a 10 day period

December
Play SAC 3 times all within a 10 day period. 2 consecutive games in SAC on 12/19 and 12/21. We also play them in October, so we won't see them for the last 3.5 months of the RS.

January
Consecutive home games vs SAS on 1/11 and 1/13
Play CHA both times
Play WAS both times in a 9 day period

February
UTA B2B Home and Home matchup. These seem to be more common now.

March
Consecutive home games vs Clips on 2/28 and 3/2
Play MIL/DEN B2B twice - first visiting them, then face them back in LA the following week
Play CHI both times - within a 6 day period

April
Consecutive road games at OKC on 4/6 and 4/8

I see a possible 0-5 start.

The Lakers only won against the Suns last year because they were healthy and the Suns weren't. The Suns smashed the Lakers the 1 time they had all 3 of their stars.

The Lakers were winning close games against PHX while they were missing Beal.

At least everybody including Vando will be healthy to start the season. Lakers are a force when he's in the lineup. He helps mitigate DLo's poor defense.

I was today years old when I learned that the in season tournament is now called the NBA Cup. But anyway it seems like that's a thing again this season.
