Lakers Host Atlanta Hawks On ESPN
- Updated: March 4, 2016
The Los Angeles Lakers will play host to the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night on ESPN. Los Angeles is coming off a close loss to the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night.
Atlanta comes into the game with a 33-28 record while the Los Angeles Lakers sport a 12-50 clip. The Hawks are coming off a tough overtime loss to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night.
Jordan Clarkson is listed as questionable for tonight’s contest. He is dealing with a knee injury. Kobe Bryant is also listed as questionable. Bryant is dealing with a shoulder injury of his own.
Although there was much talk about breaking up the Atlanta Hawk core they did not make any major trades at the deadline. They are lead by Paul Millsap and Al Horford this season.
Millsap is averaging 17.5 points per night to go along with 8.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists. Horford is second on the team with 15.4 points and 7.2 rebounds a night.
It should be a good test for Julius Randle to get a chance to guard the All-Star. It’s no secret that D’Angelo Russell has been playing excellent basketball of late and will be the focal point of the offense. He will go up against Jeff Teague in a battle of the guards.
Let’s get this win Lakers!
