For the second year in a row, the Lakers are in the lottery which is not a familiar place for the fanbase. Last year, they selected Julius Randle 7th overall, only to lose him to a broken leg in the first game. This year they reportedly have their sights set on Duke’s Jahlil Okafor. But [...]

Draymond Green is not healthy. Doris Burke of ESPN reported early on in the Golden State Warriors’ Game 3 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers that Draymond Green was battling through back pain.
