The NBA is making it a goal to increase rest .From the Lakers website:

Quote:
The longest road trip features five games in 10 days from Jan. 26 to Feb. 4 (@CHI, TOR, ORL, BKN, OKC). Last season, the longest trip had seven games in 12 days.
The longest home stand goes for nine days and includes five games from Jan. 3 to 11 (vs. OKC, CHA, ATL, SAC and SAS).
The Lakers play 13 B2B's on the season, down from 16 in 2016-17. One has no travel (vs. HOU/@LAC to close the season). Three of them include time zone changes, and four have travel of over 750 miles.
Last season, L.A. played the vast majority of its home games on Tues. (13), Fri. (10) and Sun. (15), with just one apiece for Mon., Wed. and Thurs. and not a single game on Sat. This season, things are balanced at Staples Center: Mon. (4); Tues. (7); Wed. (8); Thurs. (3); Fri. (10); Sat. (1); Sun. (8).
The Lakers play eight of their road games on Sat., up from five last season. The rest: Mon. (7); Tues. (3); Wed. (8); Thurs. (6); Fri. (5); Sun. (3).
L.A. only goes to Portland and San Antonio once, and welcomes New Orleans and Utah one time apiece. Each NBA team plays 10 teams in its conference four times apiece, four squads within its conference three times apiece and teams in the opposing conference twice.


Quote:
The most noticeable difference for the 2017-18 schedule came as an NBA directive: Get the players more rest. On that, they delivered. The Lakers will play only 13 back-to-backs (league average: 14.9), down from 16 last year and 18 in 2015-16.

Furthermore, there isn't a single set of four games in five nights (one last year). Now, to make this happen, the NBA will start the campaign a week earlier. L.A. opens on Oct. 19 (Oct. 26 last year) and finishes on April 11 (April 12 in 2016-17).

The net impact on the players is a positive for recovery time … but it does bring them away from their families a bit more. Last season, there were 68 nights when the Lakers were either in another city or didn't get back to L.A. until after midnight. This year, that number bumps up to 72.

Indeed, having more B2B's on the schedule in previous years was a way for coastal teams especially to spend less time on the road. For example: one 3-game trip has L.A. going @DAL (Jan. 13), @MEM (Jan. 15) and @OKC (Jan. 17), which is six nights on the road. Last year, there would have been a B2B that would have meant one fewer night on the road.

11 back to back games is pretty solid.

Brooklyn comes to town on Nov 3, Russell vs Ball should give us a good idea on how big of a gap there is between the 2.

Not really. Lonzo isn't a one on one player. Why people keep judging him individually is beyond me.

As a Laker fan I wanna see Ball have a big game against Russell so people can quickly forget about the trade.
