Guard Isaiah Thomas is leading the charge with 18.7 points per game. In the most recent loss to Utah, the Suns saw brother Markieff and Marcus Morris combine for 25 points.
The Los Angeles Lakers are looking for help for Kobe Bryant. Bryant has scored 96 points in 4 games for the Lakers, but that has not been enough. Los Angeles cannot find any other consistent scoring. In the loss to Golden State, Jordan Hill scored 23, but guys like Jeremy Lin and Carlos Boozer didn’t contribute as much as they combined for 15 points. The Lakers lost power forward Julius Randle for the season with a broken leg. The former Kentucky star was the Lakers first round draft pick.
