西區兩支在賽季初期大力補強的快艇和太陽，明天將迎來賽季的第一次交手，兩隊在近期也都取得很好的氣勢，不過明日的比賽上Kevin Durant因為腿筋傷勢將會再次缺席此戰，兩軍也只有差KD一人就能完全體對抗。

而快艇這邊，在上場對上熱火Kawhi Leonard回歸，Mason Plumlee內側副韌帶受傷也回歸之後，球隊上也已經沒有任何的傷兵球員，可以全員出戰面對太陽隊。

Injury report is clean.
面對昨日Leonard的回歸，昨天Leonard攻下24分、6籃板、5助攻、4抄截，帶領球隊贏球，Paul George表示Leonard回到球隊中感覺很棒，他總是在做一些細微看不到的事情在球場上，他非常的直得依靠，他看起來非常的像他自己。

“It’s great to have 2 back in the lineup. He does all the little intangible stuff. He’s just so reliable… He looked like he was himself.” pic.twitter.com/sTNLTaBe4Q
Harden則是說：「你們都看到了他的表現，攻守上都終結了對手，就是非常的頂尖。」
