One of the problems highlighted in the season opener with the Warriors was spacing. If Anthony Davis does not play at Center, then the Lakers are going to have spacing issues with Russel Westbrook at PG. However, after closer examination, the Lakers do have some good shooters on their bench and Frank Vogel will have to carefully plan out the rotations to avoid duos of Russel Westbrook and Rajon Rondo on the floor at the same time.

In the game again the Warriors I believe starting DeAndre Jordan was a mistake for spacing reasons and I believe the Lakers are going to address this in tonight’s game against the Suns. My prediction of the lineups for tonight’s game are:

PG: Russel Westbrook
SG: Malik Monk
SF: Kent Bazemore
PF: Lebron James
C: Anthony Davis

If the Lakers can manage their rotations, I have no doubt they will win tonight’s game!
