Maurice Harkless should once again start at the four with Chimezie Metu available to back him up and also a candidate to see some minutes at the five as well.

Lineup Update: Lakers will start Westbrook, Monk, James, Ariza, Davis on Tuesday. Both LeBron and Anthony Davis will be available and start after being listed probable on the injury report earlier. It is also worth noting that Trevor Ariza will get the start over Stanley Johnson which could be due to how he matches up with the Bucks lineup. Ultimately, this should affect too much as Ariza was already expected to have a sizeable role.

As reported by: Jay AllenDe'Aaron Fox (ankle) has "good chance" to play Tuesday per HC Alvin Gentry
De’Aaron Fox (ankle) has a “good chance” to play Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves per HC Alvin Gentry. Fox should slot back into the starting lineup for the Kings who are rather thin now after making a trade earlier in the day. Fox isn’t expected to have a strict minutes limit, but he also likely won’t be run to exhaustion after missing the last 8 games. His return will limit the upside of some of the Kings bench players but Davion Mitchell and Harrison Barnes should still see plenty of opportunities.
