72-Game Season

Game 72 vs. Minnesota Timberwolves

The Lakers and Timberwolves have only played twice this season, so this will be their third meeting.

Game 73  vs. Denver Nuggets

This was a toss-up between Denver and Utah. I only picked the fourth match-up with Denver to diversify our hypothetical post-hiatus schedule. But as you can see, the 76-game schedule will give the Lakers the opportunity to finish their entire conference schedule.
