Los Angles Lakers seats at the top of the West and Portland Trail Blazers at the bottom of the table in playoffs standing. After the performance of Damian Lillard and Portland Trail Blazers in the Bubble Environment, everyone has changed their point of view Lakers will win this series with domination or even many think Portland Trail Blazers have better chance to win this series.
Los Angeles Lakers' Strength :
LeBron James and Anthony Davis :
This two players name is enough to give goosebumps to the opposition team. They both are in the list of top 10 players in the NBA.
LeBron James :
There are two sides of LeBron James when it comes to playing in the NBA. One is playing in the regular season and playing in playoffs. In the regular season, he mostly tries to put the offense in his game but in the regular season in the postseason, he does everything in his game. He gave his all. Now it's more to take care of him for the opposition team because he has one of the best feats with him Anthony Davis and supporting casts like Danny Green, Kyle Kuzma, McGee, and Dwight Howard. All Lakers players are playing very well with him especially Alex Caruso. Selected for the top 3 MVP candidates. This is the first time LeBron James become assist leader in the league with 10.2 assists per game.
Anthony Davis :
A big who can guard any position at a high level. For Big, it's impossible to guard point guard but despite being big Anthony guard point guard. He is one of the best rim protectors in the NBA. He selected in the top 3 defensive player awards for the regular season.
Supporting Cast :
They have a better supporting cast who are once elite in this game. Kely Kuzma and Danny Green will be crucial for Los Angeles Lakers to win this series and Championship. Alex Caruso is also there with them. McGee and Howard are also best at protecting a rim. It's hard for any opposition player to score at the rim against them.
Weakness :
Not consistent at a high level in every game. In some games, they play great basketball but in some, they look alike bottom team in the league. Kyle Kuzma's potential is always a key factor for Los Angeles Lakers but he didn't show his full potential in the regular season. Kuzma needs to be the third guy in the team after LeBron and Anthony Davis. They are not good when they play against a team which has a very good big man or center.

Portland Trail Blazers' strength :
Two Point Guard Players, Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum :
They have a two-point guard player and one of them is one of the top 3 point guards in the league. Damian Lillard scored 37.6 PPG, 9.6 assists, and 4.3 rebounds with a shooting percentage in FG are 49.7%, 3 point shooting percentage is 43.6%. CJ McCollum played with his injured back. He played a great game against Memphis Grizzlies in the play-in series.

Big Man Nurkic and Carmelo Anthony :
Nurkic playing too good in this bubble environment he scored 20+ points and 20+ rebounds double-double against Memphis Grizzlies. Anthony is one of the top scorers of all time in the NBA and he can contribute to the team from his experience. He is now playing as a third guy for Portland.
Weakness :
Portland doesn't have a great supporting cast. they don't have much defense in their team who can guard LeBron and Anthony Davis. Lakers have a better bench than Portland Trail Blazers.
Who will win? Lakers 80% chances, Portland 20% chances
Lakers have more talent than Portland. They have a deep bench when Portland doesn't have as good as Lakers bench. Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, Nurkic, and Carmelo continue their form against Los Angeles Lakers which they have shown in Bubble than they have some chances to win against Lakers. Lakers have a higher chance to win this series because of their strong lineup.
