The expectation is that the Lakers will try to replicate a regular-season game, rotation-wise – at least for three quarters – when they face the Suns on Thursday night in Thousand Palms.
Lakers star LeBron James is expected to play in the team’s preseason finale on Thursday night against the Phoenix Suns in Thousand Palms. The Lakers expect to play most of their normal rotation for three quarters in their final dress rehearsal for next week’s regular-season opener.

This means LeBron James and Austin Reaves are expected to be available and play alongside the other known starters – D’Angelo Russell and Anthony Davis – after playing in two preseason games apiece so far. Taurean Prince, an eight-year NBA veteran who joined the Lakers in free agency, appears to be the leader for the fifth starting spot but Ham hasn’t disclosed who will play that role. Prince has started in the other two games when the four known starters were available.
“We’re a high-profile organization and the people want to see us,” Ham said. “So we kind of handle it all in stride and get our work in when we need to get our work in. We have fans everywhere – NBA markets, non-NBA markets. We want to show our fans appreciation and come out and be able to touch people where normally they don’t get to see us live, in person like this.
