MATCHUP OF THE GAME

The Lakers don't have all that many weapons, but Pau Gasol is still incredibly skilled and able to put up big performances. The Kings will be without their own main weapon, but shutting down Gasol will help Sacramento's chances big time. Thompson will also be able to operate in the post more with Cousins out, and that's where he is most comfortable.

3 THINGS

3. As is the case with any Mike D'Antoni team, the Lakers love shooting threes, and are 3rd in the league in makes this season. The Kings are one of the worst three point defense teams in the league. Something has to give.
