Wesley Matthews will be a starter for the Los Angeles Lakers in the game against the Brooklyn Nets at Staples Center.

Matthews will replace Dennis Schroder, who is out, due to the Health and Safety protocols of the NBA.

Kyle Kuzma will also be a starter, replacing Anthony Davis, who has been sidelined with an Achilles injury.

Wesley Matthews joins the starters with Schroder out, and will likely begin defending James Harden, whom he’s seen many times over the years. Expect KCP to open on Kyrie Irving. Caruso and THT will provide relief off the bench.
