Lakers

The Lakers didn't make any significant signings in the offseason, which means they haven't gotten any stronger compared to last season. Will the first round of the playoffs be the limit for the Los Angeles-based team again?

Out of six preseason games, the Lakers won only two - against Milwaukee (107:102) and Phoenix (128:122 (112:112) in overtime). In addition, the team lost to the same Phoenix (114:118), Minnesota (107:124) and twice failed to cope with Godin State (97:111 and 74:132).

Minnesota

The Timberwolves parted ways with Karl-Anthony Towns in the offseason. He went to New York, and Minnesota got Julius Randle and Donte Di Vincenzo in return. Thus, the Wolves' backcourt rotation has gotten stronger at first glance, but the frontcourt rotation is no longer as potent as it was last season, when Minnesota, remember, reached the conference finals.

In the preseason, Minnesota beat the Los Angeles Lakers (124:107) and Philadelphia (121:111), but lost to Chicago (123:125), New York (110:115) and Denver (126:132).
