Lakers vs. Nets

Lonnie Walker was one of the best shooters of the team from 3, still, coach Darvin Ham didn't give him enough opportunities until the playoffs where he showed his worth, helping win game four against the Golden State Warriors in the second round.

Walker IV had a key role within the Lakers to turn the season around and make it to the Western Conference Finals. In the offseason fans wanted the organization to bring him back but weren't able to retain him after the SG hit free agency.

Lonnie was then signed by the Brooklyn Nets and tonight Walker IV will be facing his former team and will attempt to ruin their night and show that they shouldn't have let him go. The fans are already missing the player and believe would do a better job than Taurean Prince.

Walker IV is back in LA and the fans are greeting him as the playoff hero of the team. The Lakers will be looking to beat Lonnie and the Nets to continue their winning streak and increase it to three.

Darvin Ham will be repeating his starting lineup of the last two games

While Cam Reddish and Gabe Vincent continue to miss games, coach Darvin Ham is betting on continuity and will be playing with the lineup that helped him get back on track in the last two games. D'Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves, LeBron James, Taurean Prince, and Anthony Davis are the first Lakers to face Brooklyn tonight.
