Los Angeles Lakers Stunned By Indiana Pacers – The Morning AfterOn today’s episode of FanDuel’s The Morning After, a sports betting show on SportsGrid
network featuring Ben Stevens, FanDuel’s Bryan Fonseca joins the show to talk about his the biggest storylines of the 2022 NBA season.
Fonseca dives into the matchup between Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers and Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks, a game which saw the 76ers earn a narrow
victory thanks in large part to a 30-point effort from Embiid. Plus, the duo looks at the performance of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and the Los Angeles Lakers
against the Indiana Pacers, a game that resulted in a heartbreaking loss for the Lakers. All that, and more, on today’s episode of FanDuel’s The Morning After on
SportsGrid with Stevens and Fonseca.
Earlier this evening, The Athletic reported that the Lakers will visit the defending NBA champions, the Denver Nuggets, to open up the 2023-24 season.
Last year, both matchups between the Lakers and Celtics went to overtime and came down to the wire. On Dec. 13, the Celtics triumphed, 122-118, despite 37 points
and 12 rebounds from Anthony Davis and 33 points, 9 rebounds, and 9 assists from LeBron James.
A few weeks later, the clubs clashed in a 125-121 Celtics overtime win, forever memorialized by LeBron’s reaction to a last-second no-call, then Patrick
Beverley bringing out the camera to show referee Eric Lewis the error.
In other words, the 2023-24 NBA regular season cannot come soon enough.
For those interested, here’s the Lakers’ preseason schedule:

Celtics Star Jaylen Brown Sees Slight Increase In ‘NBA 2K’ Rating
“NBA 2K” has been gradually releasing players initial overall ratings leading up to the latest version’s Sept. 8 launch, with Celtics guard Jaylen Brown’s rating
announced Thursday.
Brown posted career-best averages during last season, recording 26.6 points and 6.9 rebounds per game on 49.1% shooting from the field and 33.5% from beyond
the arc.
The Boston superstar will start this season at an 89 overall on “NBA 2K24,” with teammate Jayson Tatum ahead of him at 95 overall, one of the top ratings.
Some think Brown’s 89 rating is reasonable, while others think it should be a little bit higher. He saw just a two-point increase having been rated an 87 heading into
last season.
