Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome in to the Lakers Nation.com podcast. My name's Trevor Lane, and it's

game day. Lakers, Pacers, 430 p.m. Pacific time tonight. Hopefully you come join us over at

YouTube.com slash Lakers Nation, as well as playback.tv slash Lakers Nation to hang out live during

the game. Obviously a big game tonight for the Lakers who badly need to get

back on track. They're on a three-game slide. We're going to preview of this game, talk about the Andrew report, how the Lakers have been playing, what they need to do to get the win tonight against the Pacers. We're also going to talk a little bit about Brony, who has been going insane in the G-League. we'll take a look at that. Hators are down bad.

Plus, Luca,

getting called out in the national media,

getting, going insane in the G League. We'll take a look at that. Haters are down bad. Plus, Luca, getting called out in the national media, getting called a ball hog. Is there any truth to it? We'll get into that as well. Join to me today, it's Mark Gunnels. Mark, how are you doing? I'm doing good, man. I'll be a lot better if the Lakers can get a win the night. Yeah, we need a bad. We need a bad

Lakers down to three games in a row now that they've lost and they definitely need a bounce

back in this one. Again, 4.30 p.m. Pacific time. I guess where we could start here with all of this

is the injury report, which is always so important for these Lakers.

Right now actually does not look too bad, but I've got some questions here, Mark.

I've got some questions.

So like, for example, we look at this injury report.

We see that Rui Hachamura and LeBron James are probable.

Right.

Rui has said himself, he's only 70 to to 80 percent and in a matchup like this against the

Pacers where they've got so many wings, Neesmith and Nemhart, all the guys that they could throw at you

Benedict Matherin. Is this the kind of matchup where Rui might have some issues and should

really even be playing right now if he's 70 to 80%.

I mean that's subjective. I think the fact that he feels good enough to play and I'm sure that the Lakers medical staff wouldn't put him out there if they felt he was at a higher risk.

So I think he's fine to play. I think obviously it's heightened with the playoffs right around the corner. You're fighting for a playoff seating and stuff of that nature. If this was back in November, December, I don't think he's playing right now. So I think that plays a factor into it as well. But yeah, I mean, it's one of those things, right, where, you know, obviously he's probably more banged up than other guys. But I don't think anybody's 100% at this point in the season, especially if you're playing for a team with playoff aspirations and you really care about your seating at this point in the year. So I think a lot of guys are banged up right now. I didn't notice him looking just from a health standpoint. I don't think he played the best, obviously, against
