The Lakers, meanwhile, will run back the starting lineup that helped them beat the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night: Austin Reaves will start at point guard, 3-and-D wing Taurean Prince will remain at shooting guard, Cam Reddish will start for the injured Rui Hachimura at small forward, All-NBA superstar LeBron James will start at power forward, and Defensive Player of the Year hopeful Anthony Davis will jump at the five spot.
