PREVIEW:
Lakers host Mavericks, set sights on strong finish
Quote: | Now that the Los Angeles Lakers are officially eliminated from postseason play, they'll try to wrap up the final two weeks on a positive note.
After losing five of six on the road, the Lakers return home to play seven of their final nine games at Staples Center beginning Wednesday night against the Dallas Mavericks. |

With Brandon Ingram back, even on minutes restriction I'm a lot more confident we can take care of Dallas. Just having him for 20 minutes means we get that much more flexibility with how we pair up Randle and Lopez, where and when we play Kuzma, and this leaves KCP and Lonzo at the guard positions without having to pull Ennis in as much.
That should be enough for us to play defense late and keep a lead this time. Fingers crossed.
I'm guessing Hart's back on Friday, and we'll close out the season kicking butt on the last few unlucky teams who play us.
GO LAKERS!! |

No Barea tonight, which I'm really happy for. Can't stand him.
Noel playing at Center instead of Mejri, and Powell playing instead of... whatever other player they threw out yesterday. They're doing this weird alternating-player thing over the last weeks of the season. Powell's hurt the Lakers this year. Looking forward to Julius' last audition against Dallas, maybe a 20-20 game or triple double is in the cards.

Watching Ball adjust and Kuzma continue to develop overall skills is enough, for me anyway. Randle is,,,,, well.... who knows. When Hart (if Hart) and Ingram come back, it will be fun to see them adjust to being out. |

Quote: | Walton didn’t say if Ingram would be starting tonight, but allowed that Kuzma will play some 3 and some 4, and that Kuz has made significant gains by playing the 3 for this past month. Definitely accelerates Kuz’s development and helps his future understanding on both ends. |

I’ve been saying Kuz is a 3. I hope Luke isn’t just realizing this |
