The Los Angeles Lakers seem to have turned a corner. They finished their five-game road trip with a respectable 3-2 record and have won 10 of their last 14 games overall. Now they return home in hopes of building on their recent play against the Phoenix Suns.
The Lakers have looked much better in the last two contests since Luke Walton’s decision to change up the starting lineup, inserting Josh Hart in place of Tyler Ennis. Maybe the biggest beneficiary to this has been Brandon Ingram.
Ingram has been far more engaged and aggressive since taking over the main point guard duties, something that has been lacking since he returned from an ankle injury.
