The Lakers begin their three game road trip in Toronto, but do so without Luka Dončić who has been ruled out for personal reasons. Pete and Darius discuss the opportunity this presents for LeBron to step into a larger usage role for the first time since his return, what they expect from Austin Reaves as he becomes the team’s 1st option again, why ball security is a major key to watch for, who they expect to pick up more minutes with Luka and Marcus Smart out, and much more.
