After a heart-wrenching loss in Minnesota our adjusted Lakers team look to carry that energy into the AT&T Center and try to do their best in handing the Spurs their first home loss of the season.
Russell and Randle will continue to come off the bench so hopefully that means we'll be looking at some very spirited play from these two young guns.
Keys to the Game
1. Avoid the sluggish start
2. Control the glass
3. Limit opp pts in the paint
4. Strong games from the young power trio
5. At least 1:2 Ast to FG Ratio
Key Match-Ups
X-Factor: Kobe vs Kawhi
1. Randle/Hibbert/Nance vs LMA/Duncan/West
2. Russell vs Parker
3. Clarkson vs Green
While we can expect to see Kawhi win his match-up as well as LMA his, match-ups like Russell/Parker and Clarkson/Green are up for grabs and to me personally, it's exciting to see our young backcourt facing another above average backcourt.
I look for Randle to have no problem out-rebounding the Spurs PFs, my worry is Duncan here.
Hopeful Stats
1. Randle earns a double double
2. Young trio combines for over 50 pts
3. Under 10 Turnovers
4. Spurs held under 100 pts and under 40% FG
5. Nance plays over 10 mins at Center
