  • Summary

  • The Lakers haven't always looked great in the process, but they are on a five game winning streak heading into Tuesday's game at home against the Jazz. That's a very, very, very good opportunity to make it six straight. It's easy to get wrapped up in aesthetics and style points, but there is no such thing as a bad five-game winning streak in the NBA. And there's definitely no such thing as a bad six-game streak. And it's worth noting that the Lakers, while catching a break here and there, have also played these games (and run their record to 9-4) while facing some adversity of their own. LA's frontcourt, already thinned out by injuries to Christian Wood and Jarred Vanderbilt, has had to absorb absences from Rui Hachimura, Cam Reddish and Jaxson Hayes. The backup center (Christian Koloko) missed about a year and a half before finally being cleared by the NBA to play again. So it's not all sunshine and roses. And all you can do is play the games on the schedule, anyway. Meanwhile, the Lakers are getting increasingly bigger contributions from Dalton Knecht, who is now shooting 48% from the floor and over 40% from 3-point range, including 14-21 over his last four games. The performances have been so impactful, there's already chatter among Lakers fans to put Knecht into the starting lineup, even when Reddish is healthy again. So can the Lakers turn current success into even bigger future gains? What do these wins now mean for the team going forward? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers are winning games. Even if they're not getting much attention for it. SEGMENT 2: What's going right? What feels sustainable? SEGMENT 3: Knecht explodes, Christie resurfaces. Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter!
