Kobe Bryant expected to play on Saturday for Lakers
Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant missed practice on Friday, but he is fully expected to play on Saturday against the San Antonio Spurs.
What It Means:
Bryant has been on a tear in his last two games, averaging 32.5 points (including 5.5 3-pointers), 8.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.0 steals, but the Spurs have the NBA's best defensive rating, according to our metrics.
Despite the recent hot streak, Bryant still owns an ugly -10.0 nERD. He's averaging 16.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game while posting a career worst 46.2 True Shooting Percentage. We currently project him to score 15.9 points, grab 3.9 boards and dish out 3.7 assists against the Spurs.
