Here is what you need to know before the Lakers go up against the neighboring Los Angeles Clippers.
1) Head coach Byron Scott has opted for a more youthful rotation for the season’s final six games. Veterans Lou Williams and Brandon Bass, who did not play on Sunday against Boston, will remain on the bench, while more minutes will be given to D’Angelo Russell, Jordan Clarkson and Tarik Black.
2) Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal will be receiving the sport’s greatest honor. On Monday morning it was announced that he will be joining the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame this year.
