JJ Redick, Anthony Davis and Dorian Finney-Smith
With Lakers big man Anthony Davis on the bench, a late scratch because of plantar fasciitis in his left foot, L.A. held on to beat the Brooklyn Nets 102-101 on Friday. Austin Reaves scored a career-high 38 points and LeBron James added 29 points and eight assists as the Lakers survived after D'Angelo Russell -- whom they traded to Brooklyn last month -- missed a potential game-winning 3 with 4.
Davis started the day as probable to play before being downgraded to questionable a little less than an hour before tipoff and ruled out 30 minutes before the game.
The Nets come into this game following a 102-101 loss at the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday in which Brooklyn nearly pulled off an upset win over a Lakers team missing Anthony Davis. Nets guard D'Angelo Russell had 19 points and eight assists in his first game against his former Los Angeles team and he had a chance to win the game at the final buzzer to give himself the kind of revenge game that players dream of.
Nets : OUT: Bojan Bogdanovic (foot), Maxwell Lewis (tibia), De’Anthony Melton (knee), Cam Thomas (hamstring), Trendon Watford (hamstring), and Dariq Whitehead (G League). QUESTIONABLE: Cam Johnson (ankle).
