Lakers' Marcelo Huertas: Returns to reserve role Friday

Huertas will come off the bench in Friday's game against the Suns.

Analysis:

Due to a plethora of injuries in the Lakers' backcourt, Huertas drew a spot start in Wednesday's loss to the Rockets. He produced 10 points (3-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven assists, five steals, and three rebounds across 31 minutes. However, he will likely see that workload reduced Friday, as rookie Brandon Ingram will get the start at shooting guard.
