Analysis:

With Lou Williams sitting out because of an illess, the Lakers will move Kobe Bryant to shooting guard and insert Anthony Brown into the starting lineup at small froward. The start will mark Brown's seventh of the season. The rookie out of Stanford is averaging 18 minutes per game this season, but could see that number increased while running with the starters.
