The Clippers are a team filled with veterans, with many players who have a summer league experience to their credit.
Fortunately, for the Lakers, the Clippers will play the second night on a back on Monday. The other team from East 2-0 in the tournament so far.
If the Lakers are arguing seriously to go to the semi-finals, they will have to win this match. They will once again need Cole Swider – who wore the Lakers all summer – to reproduce the performance he gave during the victory on Saturday against the Pélicans.
Swider finished this competition with 21 points, 10 rebounds and four assists.
Besides Swider, it’s also time for some of the guys on the list to really prove their value.
DJ Steward and Darius Bazley did it. Arthur Kaluma made his presence feel the last match, but the question is who else has something to show?
Maybe Christian Koloko will target two good games in a row, or one of Ty Johnson, RJ Davis or Dajaun Gordon can intensify.
Apart from these names, it will be pleasant to see this team of Lakers win and give fans something that will excite them. Nothing is more than a strong match of Bonny James Jr., who collected 14 points and three assists as well as well in the last minutes of the last match.
James’ defense was the most commendable part of his performance this summer and it will be good to see this continue.
As for his teammate, Dalton Knecht, there is not yet a word about his health after missing the previous game due to a veal cramp. The 24 -year -old sat for precautionary reasons, and it will not be a surprise if he does the same for the rest of the tournament. If this is the case, it is unfortunate because Knecht is one of the fascinating young players of the team.
It doesn’t matter who is on the ground, the Lakers should still go hard and do their best to win the Los Angeles Battle in Las Vegas. Let’s see if they can do that exactly and improve their files at 2-1 on Monday.
