What's the buzz on Twitter?
Same starters for the Lakers tonight, per JJ Redick. Rui Hachimura will miss a fourth straight game with his ankle injury. - 8:47 PM
Rui Hachimura isn't available tonight vs. Orlando, per JJ Redick. Same starters as the Tuesday win over the Jazz: Austin Reaves, Cam Reddish, Dalton Knecht, LeBron James, Anthony Davis. - 8:47 PM
So it feels like Dalton Knecht is swiping Rui Hachimura's job right before our eyes.
I think they have to improve on the Cam Reddish spot if they want to make playoff noise, but Knecht's shooting has really unlocked some stuff offensively for the other starters. - 12:22 AM
Similar to Rui Hachimura, JJ Redick says that the hope is that Jaxson Hayes will be available again this week. - 8:55 PM
