Vandy will have him on lock down if he can stay out of foul trouble.


As much as we want Vandy on Shai, we need him to lock down that Jalen Williams dude, he's been killing it as of late. Troy will have to bother Shai.

They would be better off shutting down Williams and Giddey

Will we FINALLY get to 0.500? C'mon fellas.

I'm not especially worried about SGA. He's going to get his but I think we should get good offsetting production from Russell and Reaves. The game will be won on effort plays. Do we get back in transition, do we rebound, do we make the extra pass.....

Big opportunity for Ham to show he has been learning along the way. A lot will be done in preparation and effort.

37 — Mavs
37 — Lakers
37 — Pelicans
37 — Thunder
37 — Jazz

Less than 10 games to go.

Any of the TOP 3 teams in the west can be knocked out of the 1st round. Depending who they draw. I know most of those teams are hoping Warriors finish in the 4th/5th spot.

It’s probably a hedge until they know more. Once SGA is confirmed in, they will decrease Lakers odds.

Not to mention Warriors have 36 losses and they are playing the 76ers tonight.

Lakers are fully rested and at home

Thunder are on a back to back (3rd game in 4 nights) on the road and just got blown out last night

SGA likely to be limited (even if he even plays)

Favorable officiating crew

I’m expecting a comfortable win

OKC is going to be a real challenge. They're playing great of late, 8 of the last 11 They just beat the Sail Boat crew and the Suns.

can't let them get hot from the 3, SGA can work to get his, but if their role players are hot from the 3, we will be in for a long night.

So not definitive, but it does like sound like a Laker Game Sudden Ability to Play Back to Back Games is brewing....

Asked SGA if he's playing tomorrow: "If I feel like how I feel right now, for sure."
