The Lakers’ defense had been solid for a while, but recently, they have shifted their focus back to offense. In their most recent game against the Cavaliers, they scored 110 points despite only hitting 25% of their three-point attempts. The Trail Blazers play at a fast pace, but their defense has been particularly poor recently, allowing at least 120 points in their last four games. This game is expected to feature a high-scoring result.
