We're just a few weeks away from the scheduled NBA restart. As NBA fans hold their breath hoping for everything to go smoothly, the Los Angeles Lakers are already cranking up their hype machine again. Their Twitter account posted a video and caption that has every Los Angeles native excited for the return to play.

You catch a glimpse of LeBron James sporting a little salt and pepper on his beard. Anthony Davis is rocking his Klutch face mask and looks hyped and ready for the restart.

 

LA certainly looks primed and ready for the potential resumption of play.

The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the favorites to come out of the West this season. They have a 49 – 14 records and basically have the Western Conference first seed in the bag, leading their second-place cross-town rival Clippers by five and a half games.

More than anything, they'll probably just use the remaining eight games on the calendar to get themselves back into playing shape. While seeds two through seven will probably have a better idea of who they could face in the first round, the Lakers will have a mystery box that could be any one six different teams.

The Memphis Grizzlies are their most likely opponent. LA is 3-1 against Ja Morant's Memphis squad. But more exciting challenges can come from the other possible teams.

The New Orleans Pelicans would offer a grudge match of sorts assuming they make it past Memphis. Any of Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, and Josh Hart might have an ax to grind with their former team.

Pelicans fans meanwhile might be familiar with Anthony Davis. Seeing their future in Zion Williamson take on their ex in AD would be must-see television for any NBA fan.

Damian Lillard and the Blazers could also pose a threat. Although they stumbled during the regular season to fall out of the playoff race, they still offer plenty of playoff experience and made the Western Conference Finals just last season.

But no matter who they face, LeBron and the Lakers will just be happy to be back.
