Rookie Max Christie is 2 for 4 from 3 tonight, providing a much-needed bench lift.
LAL, who trailed by 11, are within 4 at 55-51 after AD added a hoop soon after returning, and Reaves converted 2 FT’s. – 10:58 PM

Two PF’s on Anthony Davis, far from ideal for the Lakers, already down 3 starters.
He’ll sit with 3:34 left in the 1st Q and the game tied at 26. – 10:33 PM

There’s no galaxy brain solution to the Lakers’ problems.
They’re either going to give up the two picks to put a coherent supporting cast around LeBron and AD or they aren’t. It’s that simple. There’s no sidestepping that question. – 11:19 AM

More on this storyline
Michael Corvo: Anthony Davis to @mcten on the ’19-’20 Lakers D vs. the last few yrs. AD noted his effectiveness as a “roamer” 4 backed by a 5. Now, AD plays a drop-heavy centerfield in Ham’s system. Idk – kinda reminded me of LeBron’s “lasers” comment. Maybe a light jab at the roster/scheme? “Yeah, for sure. It’s a little different cause I was able to roam a lot. I was playing the 4 then. JaVale was playing the 5 and Dwight was playing the 5. So guarding the perimeter — knowing I got them guys behind me, or weak side helps getting blocks from the weak side. Now, when I’m the 5, I’m the one in the action, pick and rolls, one guard in the post, things like that. We (the ’19-’20 Lakers) were flying around. We were really good defensively. And we’re really good defensively this year, as well. I think roles just changed a little bit as far as me, as far as positions. In ’19-’20 I was a roamer. Where I can be on whoever the 4 is and roam around and help protect everyone. It’s tough for me to do that when I’m guarding 5. Still can do it. Still have to do it. Find a way to do it. It’s no excuse. I got be better than that.” -via Twitter / November 8, 2022
Kyle Goon: Darvin Ham indicated that he had a passionate conversation with AD: “If a guy says he wants more touches and he’s of the caliber of Anthony Davis, then yeah, my ears are going to perk up and I’m going to see how I can get him the ball more.” So far, AD is 5 for 6 with 10 pts. -via Twitter @kylegoon / November 8, 2022
Mike Trudell: LeBron James (left foot soreness) will miss tonight’s game at Utah. Lonnie Walker IV (Non-COVID illness) is also out, as is Patrick Beverley (Non-COVID illness) for the second straight game. Anthony Davis (low back tightness) is probable. -via Twitter @LakersReporter / November 7, 2022
