Redick has challenged the Lakers ever since he took the job as head coach. There's been a level of accountability, transparency, and consistency throughout this season. So far, that method has paid off. They sit at the No. 6 seed right now with a 21-17 record. Los Angeles has had some bumps in the road, as all teams do.

The Lakers are preparing for a Friday matchup against the Brooklyn Nets, but they may be without two key players, including star center Anthony Davis, who is listed as probable for the game, per Dan Woike of The Los Angeles Times.

After playing the Nets, they will visit the Los Angeles Clippers, who are currently in fifth place, on Sunday, making these next two games very important for them. Unfortunately, the Lakers will be without not only Dorian Finney-Smith,
