It is true that the Lakers and Warriors have a favorable schedule

Before the season, the strong Western Conference teams were the OKC, San Antonio, and Houston, but the Lakers and Warriors have not played against any of these strong Western Conference teams yet.
It is true that they have a good schedule at the start of the season.
In comparison, Dallas has played San Antonio 2 times, Houston 2 times, and OKC 1 time out of 11 games; despite having the worst schedule, they are doing unexpectedly well with a 7-4 record.
If the Warriors do well against Houston and San Antonio, we can look forward to them this year.
Aside from the San Antonio game in late November, the Lakers have no games against strong teams.
