Why the Lakers Should Win Their Next Six Games, Plus a Revived Collin Sexton?

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 11 Nov 2026 08:00:00 GMT

The Lakers should have Austin Reaves back on the floor on Wednesday in Milwaukee. Not that it should really matter?

The Bucks are a one-win team on the wrong end of a back-to-back, and might not have leading scorer Tyler Herro to boot.

So even if Quentin Grimes isn't available -- he's questionable with a finger injury -- the Lakers should have more than enough to get a dub against the Bucks. And from there, it's five more games against teams that are sub-.500, or even sub-.150. Just the NBA's worst. So realistically the Lakers ought to enter November 27th's game in San Antonio at 16-2.

One big reason is Walker Kessler. We revisit the idea commonly put out there that the Lakers paid an exorbitant price for his services over the summer. Really? Did they? For a guy who was available for reasons we couldn't really understand?

Meanwhile, the Lakers have signed another two-way center to try and shore up that spot on the roster. Carson Cooper is another guy who played in Memphis for a cup of coffee and an alliterative name. We'll see if it'll pan out.

Same with Collin Sexton, who is showing signs of life!

Lakers Depth Showing? JJ Redick Happily Goes Deep Into His Bench

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 10 Nov 2026 22:00:00 GMT

Monday in Atlanta, the Lakers were short Austin Reaves (illness) and Quentin Grimes (finger). But despite that, JJ Redick gave real minutes to 10 different players. Even young guys like Adou Thiero and Cam Carr saw meaningful action at important points in the game.

Redick continues to give Jarred Vanderbilt some burn nightly, despite two seasons of pretty clearly preferring not to. On this team, the fit is better, and with solid performance Vando is still in the rotation. Multiple players are near, at or above 20 minutes per game this season, which is not always an easy trick to pull off.

So it means Redick actually believes what he was saying earlier in training camp - that this is a team where he believes in the personnel, and more importantly, how well it fits together. If you're a team trying to make sure you're getting the maximum amount of value for every player on the roster, this sort of thing is critical. Doesn't do much good to have lots of talented players if those components aren't able to play together in different combinations.

So if the trend continues, Redick should be able to keep everyone involved, and ensure that stars like LUka Doncic and Austin Reaves stay fresh. Or as fresh as the modern game allows.

Lakers Push Win Streak To 6 With Victory Over Hawks

Luka Scores 32, Mamu Scores 23 and Kessler Gets 21/10 as Lakers Beat Hawks, 124-114

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 10 Nov 2026 03:40:00 GMT

Sunday, Luka Dončić sat and the Lakers won in Detroit.

Monday, Austin Reaves sat in Atlanta (illness) and the Lakers win.

This time, 124-114.

Luka was relatively quiet for him in the first half, but still finished with a very impressive 32/8/10 and five steals, but he had a lot of help. Sandro Mamukelashvili paced the bench with 23 points, Collin Sexton had his best effort as a Laker with 18/6, plus three triples and Walker Kessler finished with 21/10.

It was another really strong win for a team that just keeps rolling along.

HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky

SEGMENT 1: The Lakers win again, this time without Reaves.

SEGMENT 2: Mamu! Sexton!

SEGMENT 3: So much versatility.

Can Quentin Grimes and Collin Sexton Only Perform When Luka Is Out of the Lineup?

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 09 Nov 2026 20:00:00 GMT

Both Collin Sexton and Quentin Grimes had their strongest statistical games of the young season when Luka Dončić missed his first game of the season, against the Clippers. Sunday, with Luka out of the lineup, both played important roles as the Lakers beat Detroit. Grimes was particularly strong in the first half, and especially a first quarter where the Lakers built the lead they'd spend the rest of the game protecting. Sexton was pivotal down the stretch, attacking the basket and getting to the free throw line.

So for two guys struggling to get their footing in one way or another (Grimes has definitely been a more positive contributor than Sexton, despite modest statistical production), that's two games of relatively higher productivity while Luka is sidelined.

Good to know they can step up, but how can the Lakers get more productive minutes from them while the stars are in the lineup?

What does productivity look like for both of them?

Austin Reaves SCORES 43 POINTS as LAKERS BEAT PISTONS Without Luka Dončić

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 09 Nov 2026 03:10:00 GMT

The Lakers beat Portland on Friday, the first in a tough three-game stretch against high quality opponents.

The second game was Sunday in Detroit, and early in the day Luka Dončić was scratched with back tightness. Precautionary, with the Lakers playing again on Monday in Atlanta? Maybe. But either way, it meant they'd be facing last year's Eastern Conference top seed shorthanded.

And man, did they come out hot, The Lakers were incredible in the first quarter, finishing up 38-14, and then held on from there as the Pistons slowly chipped away at the lead.

Final score, 121-116.

Austin Reaves had 43 points, filling the scorers role, and impressively only had one turnover. Walker Kessler was dominant inside, with 16 rebounds and three blocks (felt like more). Ziaire Williams had six triples and 17 points. Collin Sexton had 17.

A really great team effort to beat a top team on the road.

HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky

SEGMENT 1: No Luka, Lakers win.

SEGMENT 2: Huge nights for Reaves, Kessler, Williams.

SEGMENT 3: Continuing to build confidence.
