Lakers have started the new regular season with a defeat. Ham's men were beaten by Golden State in San Francisco. Anthony Davis, LeBron James and Russell Westbrook provided a solid offensive performance, scoring 77 points combined. Other players failed to impress in that encounter.

Lakers will play the match against the Clippers without some key players. Troy Brown, Dennis Schroeder and Tobias Bryant will miss the upcoming game.
