JJ Redick says Rui Hachimura (illness) is available and Anthony Davis (ankle) and D’Angelo Russell (thumb) will go through their pregame workouts with the intention of playing, should they feel good to go.

JJ Redick said he's not concerned about LeBron moving forward, he's just under the weather.

Gabe Vincent will start in his place.

Jaxson Hayes also remains questionable, per JJ Redick.

JJ Redick first noted that he thinks Mike Brown - fired by the Kings yesterday - is a really good coach.

He added that the Lakers are “expecting to get (Sacramento’s) best tonight,” citing how teams tend to respond, in the short term at least, to adversity.

Anthony Davis, Rui Hachimura and D’Angelo Russell are all available tonight, per the Lakers.

Career high in assist

I'm so proud of Max Christie

"We want to run. We want to pass. We want to screen," JJ Redick said. Lakers tied a season high with 33 assists.

JJ Redick on the importance of Austin Reaves (26 points, 16 assists tonight) on offense:

“The wiggle. The ability to touch the paint in the half court. The ability to (draw) two on the ball … Austin is vital to us.”

JJ Redick said Gabe Vincent will have further evaluation on his oblique injury to determine how much time he will miss, if any, after sitting out the second half vs. SAC.

Rui Hachimura says the trust the Lakers players have in each other has grown since last year.

"I think that's the No. 1 thing we've progressed in."

Dalton Knecht on what he learned playing against the Kings so many times in a short span:

"They don't let me shoot. They definitely won't leave me."

Austin Reaves says his focus offensively is to "create an advantage" whether it's for him or one of his teammates.

"We want to have teams scrambling as much as possible. I think that's how you have big quarters."

Darvin Hamas is still crazy for this

Dlo gone

It was only a matter of time

Still got Vando and firsts to use.
