The Los Angeles Lakers (16-13) are currently in sixth place in the NBA’s Western Conference standings. The Lakers are scheduled to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center, putting their season-long three-game winning streak on the line against the T-Wolves. All-Star guard Russell Westbrook will be out of the lineup after being placed in the NBA’s Health and Safety Protocol. This will be the fourth Lakers player placed in health and safety protocols this week alone. Lakers have since signed former All-Star player Isaiah Thomas to a 10-Day contract, leaving UNDISPUTED’s Shannon Sharpe to theorize how the Lakers will perform with Westbrook out of the lineup: “I’ve seen this before, basically the Big 2 from the Lakers. I know what I’m going to get from LeBron, but what am I going to get from Anthony Davis?”
