ANALYSIS: This now puts the Lakers with three players out due to the league's health and safety protocols as Talen Horton-Tucker was placed in the protocols earlier today. The NBA is facing a huge uptick in positive cases throughout the league as some big names including Giannis Antetokounmpo and James Harden were just put into COVID protocols today as well.
