Los Angeles Lakers will lock horns against Minnesota Lynx in NBA 2021-22 on Monday, 03 January 2022 at 08:00 AM IST

Lakers have been unable to string together a winning streak this season and the main reason for that in my opinion has been a lack of defense.

The team lacks a prototypical Center or even a prototypical big Forward right now and that can hurt against elite teams.

LA Lakers have been struggling at the defensive end way too much and they have allowed even so-so offensive teams to stack up 115+ points on a regular basis.

On offense, LeBron has been the hottest hand, scoring 30 or so like he has found the fountain of youth while Westbrook continues to spread his all around wealth.

Malik Monk and Carmelo Anthony have been stable offensive options throughout the season so offense is not much of an issue.

With Stanley Johnson, Austin Reaves, Talen Horton-Tucker in the mix, the team needs more out of Talen.

Minnesota has been struggling like the Lakers, unable to string together wins on a regular basis.

The issue has been on the defensive end and that was before Edwards, Towns, and Russell collectively missed games.

For the Minnesota squad, the inability to close out games and the lack of late defensive pressure have been two main issues I feel.

Offensively, they have decent depth, and Malik Beasley, McDaniels, and Jaylen Nowell have all risen up for significant contributions lately.

I think the Minnesota team can get it together once they have restored their starters even in this insecure climate.
