We're getting to the last stretch of the season, what Lakers fans should be rooting for tonight

We are getting on the latest second part of the regular season, with twenty-six games left for the Los Angeles Lakes, currently sitting on a 30-26 record with a 3-game winning streak, but they will be facing tonight the Warriors being really shorthanded.

If the Lakers want to keep climbing seeds to make it straight to the playoffs, avoid the Play-In Tournament, and have a good close to the regular season, the team needs to keep building from the momentum they got before the All-Star break.

For tonight' the Lakers fans should be rooting for the Lakers win over the Warriors despite the adverse circumstances, the Mavericks losing to the Phoenix Suns, the Pelicans losing to the Houston Rockets, the Clippers losing to the OKC Thunder, the Utah Jazz losing to the Hornets and the Sacramento Kings losing to the Spurs.

Of course, the most important game for the team is their own, and for tonight, the team could be down to six players missing as LeBron James, Christian Wood, Gabe Vincent, and Jarred Vanderbilt are out with Max Chrsitie and Cam Reddish being questionable.

Austin Reaves believes the break helped the team

"A little time away amid a long season is good for everybody and hopefully we can pick back up where we left off." Said Austin Reaves in the post-practice presser. Reaves is one of the team's starters and leaders who will have to bring their best game in tonight's game against the Warriors if they want to continue on the winning path.
