The Los Angeles Lakers are starting to surge after a rough start to the season. They have a three-game winning streak and have been victorious in six of their last seven games, which has enabled them to forge a 9-6 record.
A chief reason for this spurt has been their defense. They have held their opponent to 110 or fewer points in five of their last six contests, and they have improved to 10th in the NBA in defensive rating.
Forward Cam Reddish has played a role in this turnaround ever since being moved into the starting lineup nearly two weeks ago. However, he left Tuesday’s win over the Utah Jazz early with groin soreness, and as a result, he will not play on Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks.
Cam Reddish is still experiencing soreness in his groin and will miss tonight’s game against the Mavericks, sources tell ESPN.

Los Angeles has a lack of wing depth right now. It is still without Jarred Vanderbilt, who started almost every game last season after arriving in the Russell Westbrook trade and quickly emerged as a versatile defensive standout.
