Randle has played and started in 28 games for Los Angeles. He is averaging a career high 12.8 points per game to go along with 8.6 rebounds.

With Randle tonight Los Angeles will most likely go with a smaller lineup. Possibly Lou Williams, or rookie Brandon Ingram will get the start. The Lakers have loss nine of their last ten games and find them falling out of the playoff picture in the Western Conference.
