The last time the Los Angeles Lakers took the court, they put forth an excellent defensive performance against the Memphis Grizzlies. Now, they look to keep that going against another dynamic point guard in De’Aaron Fox and the Sacramento Kings.
JJ Redick inserted Max Christie into the starting lineup against Memphis and he was key in limiting Ja Morant. The task doesn’t get any easier against Fox, who has long been someone the Lakers have struggled to contain. It takes an entire team effort to keep Fox in check, but this is why Christie is starting and his primary task will be to make life difficult on the point guard.
