Schedule Looks Good on Paper

Already off to their best start in seven years, the Lakers are in good position to build on that considering the next seven games are against six teams that have a combined .284 winning percentage.
None of the six, including Sacramento in a home-and-home Jan. 2-3, are better than eight games under .500. The catch is that the team with the worst record in that group, Boston at 5-17, has already defeated the Lakers.
The next seven games, in order: Minnesota, Phoenix, Boston, Philadelphia, Sacramento twice and Vancouver. On Jan. 6 comes Portland, which is 14-12.
All things Lakers, all the time.
