The Los Angeles Lakers have lost four straight games, and as a result, are planning to move forward with a new starting lineup beginning on Saturday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
D’Angelo Russell will move to the bench, and the Lakers will start LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Cam Reddish, Taurean Prince and Jarred Vanderbilt as they look to stop the slide.
Russell has started all 28 games that he’s played this season, and is averaging 15.3 points and 6.3 assists per game on 46.2% shooting from the floor.

The Padres signed Japanese closer Yuki Matsui to a five-year contract on Saturday, the team announced. ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported the deal is worth $28 million.

The Oklahoma State product absolutely shredded the Bengals in the first half, completing 12 of his 19 passes for 193 yards and a touchdown.
