6 years agoLos Angeles Lakers small/power forward Kyle Kuzma delivered a team-high 23 points despite the return to the lineup of teammates Rajon Rondo and Brandon Ingram during Friday’s win over the New Orleans Pelicans. With the Lakers nearly back at full strength, Kuzma’s numbers certainly didn’t take a hit Friday, as he knocked down three threes and delivered his third straight 20-plus-point performance. Kuzma has reached that next level in December, averaging 22.8 points per game in 10 contests, so keep an eye on head coach Luke Walton’s minutes distribution over the next handful of contests to see how things shake out.--Jesse Borek
