Kyle Kuzma (rest) sitting out Lakers' seeding finale against Kings, Talen Horton-Tucker to start
Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (rest) is out for Thursday afternoon's game against the Sacramento Kings.
What It Means:
The Lakers will be without Kuzma, Anthony Davis (knee), Alex Caruso (neck), and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ribs) on Thursday. They are also limiting LeBron James and Danny Green to first-half minutes, so the bench will get an extended look in the Lakers' last game of the regular season. Talen Horton-Tucker and Markieff Morris will start in place of Kuzma and Davis. Quinn Cook could see more burn off the bench.
Per FanDuel Sportsbook, the Lakers are favored by 3.5 points on Thursday. The matchup has a 221.5-point over/under.
