Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant missed practice on Friday, but he is fully expected to play on Saturday against the San Antonio Spurs.
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.
