On the second night of a back-to-back, and without four starters, Austin Reaves produced 37 points, 13 assists, eight rebounds and four steals against the Nuggets.

The goal for the Los Angeles Lakers over the next week or so is to hold the fort as they face a tough run of games without star forward LeBron James, who is still dealing with a groin injury and will still be out for at least one week.

It’s fair to say that year one hasn’t gone the way Los Angeles Lakers rookie Dalton Knecht expected. He came into the league as a shooter in the one percent, according to head coach JJ Redick.
