Why you can trust us: Our expert team has reviewed, tested, and researched streaming services and devices since 2017. Millions trust The Streamable for our honest, in-depth analysis and up-to-date information. Discover our testing methodology. for the Los Angeles Lakers and others.

Expectations are always high for the Los Angeles Lakers, especially with LeBron James and Anthony Davis on the lineup. But, the Late Show isn’t expected to be a serious contender in the Western Conference this season. Coming off of a 47–35 record in 2023-24 — seventh best out west — and a 4-1 series lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Denver Nuggets, first-year head coach JJ Redick’s squad is projected to only win 43.5 games this season.

However, it would be foolish to ever count a team with King James completely out, especially as he has the added motivation of playing with his son Bronny for the first time. Joining Davis and James Sr. in the starting lineup is expected to be D’Angelo Russell at the point, shooting guard Austin Reaves, and Rui Hachimura at the 3. That group was Los Angeles’ most-seen starting five last year and will hope for better results this time out.

As one of the marquee franchises in the league, there’s no doubt that the Lakers will see their fair share of nationally televised games, but for local broadcasts, fans can watch on Spectrum SportsNet and can stream games on Spectrum SportsNet+.
