The Los Angeles Lakers are officially on a winning streak. After taking down the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday, they slew the Sacramento Kings on the road Sunday to get back to a .500 record at 6-6. Tyson Chandler seems to have fixed the issues that the Lakers encountered on the bench defensively. LeBron James continues to roll even with inconsistent contributions around him from his younger teammates. The Lakers are far from perfect. But they are slowly figuring out what this team is going to be moving forward.
They have a chance to take another step in that direction on Sunday when they close out a back-to-back against the Atlanta Hawks. Should they win that game, a strong bet considering the Hawks are one of the NBA's worst teams, they will be above .500 for the first time this season. All that's left to figure out is which Lakers will start in this matchup. They have used the same lineup for the past several games, but with Chandler rolling and Brandon Ingram dealing with a minor ankle injury, they have some decisions to make in this game.
