*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Monday, January 6th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Tuesday, January 7th.
LA Lakers
With one trade already in the books all eyes will be on the Lakers to watch for additions to the roster prior to the deadline.
Part of the issue for LA is they haven’t found a defensive rhythm and aside from their two main stars (and Reeves occasionally) no one else consistently can score.

Free NBA Prediction:
Although LA’s stars make an appearance on the injury list that’s typical gamesmanship from the Lakers. The team truly without their stars will be the Mavs and it is a big hit given Exum is also out which means three point guards are missing.
If there is a positive to take away it’ll allow Klay Thompson to develop more chemistry with the rest of the roster and let Jason Kidd focus on defense in the interim.
