The Los Angeles Lakers keep pursuing their golf of making it to the playoffs, and tonight they will be facing the Memphis Grizzlies in what is going to be a challenging game.

The main problem is that they won't have their superstar LeBron James or their starter D'Angelo Russell, making coach Darvin Ham change his starting five lineups.

Instead of D'Angelo Russell, Dennis Schroder will continue to be in the starting lineup, and the "replacement" for LeBron James, according to information by Dave McMenamin, will be Troy Brown Jr.

Brown Jr. has already been a starter earlier in the season, so it is not a real shocker, and the lineup will be Dennis Schroder, Malik Beasley, Jarred Vanderbilt, Anthony Davis, and Troy Brown Jr.

Anthony Davis has to lead the team like LeBron did in his absence

Earlier in the season, Anthony Davis was out more than a month because of an injury; now that LeBron will be in a similar position, Davis will have to lead the team to the possibility of making it to the playoffs.
