The Indiana Pacers roll into Staples Center seeking to continue their recent run in a matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.
Double-doubles have been a common theme for Lakers forward Julius Randle, but Los Angeles got a double-double Tuesday from an unlikely source, little-used rookie center Ivica Zubac, who tallied 11 points and 13 boards in a 127-121 loss to Denver.
Zubac, the 32nd pick of the 2016 draft, has spent much of the season playing with the Los Angeles D-Fenders in the NBA Development League.
"I thought (Zubac) was really good (Tuesday)," Lakers coach Luke Walton said. "(The Nuggets) were getting everything they wanted for most of the game, and when he got in there he started changing some shots, he got his deflections, had a beautiful pass to Nick (Young) in the corner that would've cut it to one, which is the way we want to play, and the way we played earlier in the year.

We are only 2 games back from the 8th seed but losing all these games will make it tough to have the tie breaker so in essence the playoffs are looking bleak.
I'm kinda where I was last year with this team. I've accepted we will likely lose regardless of who we play. So what I'd would like to see, is one or more of the young guys just go bonkers.

Last season was all basically the same theme, at least we give ourselves a chance in more of the games which the game data shows (30 out of 46 games were close).

It looks like 4.5 games back.
I expect this team to bounce back with a solid performance from our starters.
