The Los Angeles Lakers are having a lot of problems with their lineup before their important match.

Jarred Vanderbilt is marked as GTD (Game Time Decision) makes the team's lineup even less certain. Vanderbilt has been extremely beneficial to the team in defensive setup and rebounds.

As well, the Lakers will be without Christian Wood and Jalen Hood-Schifino, who are both listed as OFS (Out for the Season).

Because of these absences, the Lakers will probably have to modify their strategy and depend more on the players who have to fill in against a tough team like the New Orleans Pelicans.
