Asked JJ about this at practice today: Said they shared with the team his rim points saved ranking:
"Rim points saved going into yesterdays game, Walker was second in the league, and only a point behind Wemby. Talking about one of the best rim protectors in the NBA.."

Quentin Grimes said he’s feeling good and expects to play Sunday in Phoenix.

JJ Redick said Austin Reaves will be day-to-day and the official injury designation will be shared tomorrow. He has a “bruise on his heel.” Reaves and the Lakers mutually opted against imaging.

Cade Cunningham made NBA HISTORY with 50 points, 10 assists and ZERO turnovers. He’s the first player to put up that stat line since the NBA began tracking individual turnovers in 1977–78.

Lakers Def Rtg by quarter, h/t @LakersReporter :
1: 106.9 (8th in NBA)
2: 116.2 (16th in NBA)
3: 103.4 (4th in NBA)
4: 128.5 (28th in NBA)
Up big in 4th = foot comes off the gas and/or 3rd string is in. Part of why LA's overall DefRtg (113.6, 17th) is lower than the eye test

In his last 4 gms Luka was Lakers wing defender matched up most against top wing options Jalen Johnson, Deni, Scottie Barnes, Yaxel and did a good job at staying in front with help of backline def playmaking forcing mistakes.
Turnovers: Johnson 4, Deni 8, Barnes 5, Yaxel 5

Luka Doncic is the NBA’s best offensive player this season, and that’s no surprise.
BUT LOOK AT THIS DEFENSE!!!
Incredible performance so far on that end.
This is from our BBall Index 2026-27 data - just tying up a couple things before we’re in a spot to launch new pages.

Western Conference remains an absolute steel cage match.
Think of how good this Lakers start has been, 1/2 game up on Spurs, 1 ahead of OKC
How good the Wolves/Rockets/Warriors have been: all 8-3
The surprise of the Grizz/Blazers/Mavs: that's the play in door

Cameron Carr has done a nice job getting skinny around the Hawks screens. He's tracking the ballhandler and keeping the Lakers from having to switch on these ball screens. Encouraging stuff for him as a potential future 3&D guy with Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.
