For the first time this season, the Los Angeles Lakers will have to play a game without both of their superstars, LeBron James and Anthony Davis. James was ruled out earlier in the day and while Davis was a game-time decision, he was ruled out minutes before the game, according to the team.
In addition to Davis and James, the Lakers will also be without starting shooting guard Danny Green. So without 30 percent of their starting line-up, the Lakers will look to try and steal a win in Oklahoma City against one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now.
In their place, Rajon Rondo, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Kyle Kuzma will be in the starting lineup alongside regular starters Avery Bradley and JaVale McGee.
The Lakers have their work cut out for them in this game and after a decent game last night in Dallas, the Lakers will likely need a great game from Kuzma and a couple of other unexpected characters if they are going to escape with a win.
