The Los Angeles Lakers have been facing several struggles this season, starting with many players being out due to injuries, and coach Darvin Ham not being able to find the best way to use his players, especially with his lineups and team rotation.

Taurean Prince has improved his shooting in the last few games, but he isn't the best option to be a starter, also, Darvin has been misusing his centers and not knowing how to manage their playing time of them.

The most recent example was the loss to the Utah Jazz where the team had it dominated until his questionable decision-making where Taurean Prince missed time earlier this season with left patellar tendinitis, his 1st game back he logged 34 mins. It was odd that an older player, the Lakers didn’t place a minute restriction that night. Looks like those restrictions are reserved for players under 25.

Now, the Lakers champion Lamar Odom has said the Lakers should go big so they can switch everything and has given advice to coach Darvin Ham with a proposed starting five. LeBron James, Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Anthony Davis are the lineup Odom believes LA should be used to start things every match.

Anthony Davis believes the team will soon get out of their slump

Anthony Davis: "It’s the NBA season. There’s going to be ups, there’s going to be downs. Right now we’re in that down period .... We just got to continue to fight and continue to play hard. Play with some effort, and some energy and we’re treating Saturday as a must-win."
