Kobe Returns Tuesday Against Golden State
Posted Under: Basketball Betting
According to reports, Kobe Bryant is set to his Los Angeles Lakers when they face-off against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night.
Bryant has missed three straight games, since spraining his left ankle against the Denver Nuggets on February 5th. The Western Conference-leading Lakers have won all three.
Bryant is not the only Laker to be getting back in the line-up.
Banged-up center Andrew Bynum, returned to practice on Monday and is expected to play on Tuesday against the Warriors as well. Bynum had missed the past two games with a bruised right hip.
It is an interesting dilemma that Lakers coach Phil Jackson finds himself faced with. How much should he play these two guys down the stretch?
On one hand, he needs his guys 100% healthy as they push towards the playoffs. But, how does he weigh in team chemistry and continuity?
If Los Angeles was losing without these guys playing; it is an easy decision. There not, in fact they have won three straight without Kobe and 8 out of their last ten overall.
I guess that’s why Phil make the big bucks.
