Yes this team sucks without their main cogs but fortunately for them they're playing another team who sucks and is also without key cogs (Lowry & VanVleet) who also happen to be on a B2B, after having to scratch and claw their way to a last second victory last night against the Wizards.
The Lakers know they have an uphill battle until their roster heals, but they still need to bag victories where they can in order to avoid an utter free fall in the standings. With road trips to Miami and Brooklyn on deck, LA has to feel a little pressure tonight to leave town with a dub.
