L.A. first used that starting lineup on Sunday, when it won 95-85 against the Rockets. The team is surely hoping for the same outcome in Tuesday’s game.

After losing their first two games of the campaign, the Lakers are now 4-3 on the season. They have won two straight and four of their last five games.

Lakers head coach Frank Vogel said that the team intends to “start big again soon.”

Frank Vogel says “we do intend to start big again soon,” but that the Lakers intend to keep looking at both small and big lineups throughout the season. Says there haven’t been hard conversations with Howard or Jordan because the group mindset is sacrificing to win a title.
