After the successful acquisition of All-Star center Anthony Davis last summer, the Los Angeles Lakers have succeeded to turn themselves from one of the worst NBA teams in the league to a legitimate title contender in the deep Western Conference. As of now, the Lakers continue to live up to expectations, sitting in the No. 1 spot in the Western Conference with a 41-12 record. However, despite their current standings, the Lakers’ road to the 2020 NBA Finals is still not expected to be easy, especially with the emergence of their Staples Center co-tenant, the Los Angeles Clippers.
