Minnesota has to play at Denver tonight. We are catching them on a second game of a back-to-back.

If the Lakers get similar performances from last night vs. Spurs from Kuz, KCP, Ennis, Zubac and Frye they probably win this one.

Wiggins just a token player in the crunch. Not sure he's going to be worth his contract.

If Minny wins, there is an increased chance that OKC will miss the playoff, right?

This is going to be a tough one. We are still banged up and Minny is fighting for its playoff life.
If we bring our A game and the crowd is lively we have a shot.

GO LAKERS!!

probably not a chance.

Quote:
Walton told reporters that he isn’t expecting to have either Ball or Ingram in the lineup for the remainder of the year, via Via Spectrum SportsNet:

“Would we like to get Lonzo and Brandon back? Yes, we would like to, but we plan on not having them. We plan on having the guys that are in the locker room.
We’ll probably get some of our G League guys back, being at home again. If we get them back, that’s great. If not, we’re going to keep preparing with these guys,” Walton said.”
