The Los Angeles Lakers should have one of their key contributors back in the lineup when they face the talented backcourt duo of James Harden and Russell Westbrook on Saturday night.
Alex Caruso, who missed most of Wednesday night’s loss to the Orlando Magic due to a concussion he suffered early in the game, is now considered probable for Saturday night’s game against the Rockets, according to SB Nation’s Harrison Faigen. Fellow reserve guard Rajon Rondo is currently questionable, but he did participate in practice as well.
The Lakers could use Caruso, who at 6-foot-5, would give them another decent option to throw at Harden, Westbrook and even Eric Gordon. The Rockets have a plethora of guards that can hurt you, meaning the Lakers will need every option at their disposal on the perimeter, especially if they don’t have Anthony Davis for a fifth straight game.
Rondo is recovering from a fractured right ring finger he suffered in last Saturday’s win at Oklahoma City. Rondo has missed the last two games.
