I still think Lakers can beat them even if they are complete especially if Beasley will get out of his shooting slump.

I see this game as potentially being a hot shooting Beasley game.

A very beatable team without Brunson. Chances are he doesn't play.

So far the Knicks are 3-4 without Brunson.

We need the energy level in Crypto.com Arena to be sky high for this one. The team fed off the crowd last game, we need the same intensity tonight vs NYK.

He's been their MVP, which is why it's perplexing all these NBA articles put Randle in the top 10 of the MVP ladder.

Love him or hate him, Julius Randell can play.

STATS
Regular Season
GP MIN FG% 3P% FT% REB AST BLK STL PF TO PTS
69 35.9 45.9 34.8 75.3 10.3 4.1 0.3 0.7 3.1 2.8 25.1

He's not a superstar but he can do some serious damage if he has a good game. His last outing was pathetic. I don't expect that to repeat. He'll be motivated today. I hope he'll be overzealous. I wish we had a player like Pat Bev to get under his skin.

The Knicks are a good team 39-30. They've lost their last 3. They'll be coming to play. We have home court advantage. Also, they may be without Jalen Brunson. Expect LGSRS. Los Angeles STAND UP!!!


GO LAKERS !!!

Test game for sure; team's record vs .500+ teams is quite poor, albeit most of that occurred pre-trade.

Thank goodness this game is at 6 instead of noon. Lakers already historically have issues with early starts and the time change would have exacerbated that.

That said, huge huge game.

Knicks are the #6 seed in the East. Who would have thought?

Julius is averaging 25 points on the season. He’s a beast. So much for the Obi Toppin hype.

Brunson out as expected. I was anticipating an easy win if he played anyway.

Like Luka there is no structural damage but it could be something that lingers for the rest of the season.

Don't be surprised if he suits up. ESPN lists him as Day-To-Day

I love how AD is always listed in the injury report as probable, even when we know he’s gonna play. I thought TD was doing that as a joke

I was really hoping the Knicks beat the Flippers, will be tough to give them 4 losses in a row. They’ll be extra motivated. Still…it’s at home and a chance to get to .500 for the first time all year and a 3 way tie for 7th. Let’s Go!!!


This is the concern. They will be super desperate.

Will know early on if we are matching their intensity
