Really? Last I saw (yesterday), Monta was listed as "likely" for this game. In fact Nelson even said he could have played in the game just before the AS break. Well, regardless of Kobe's or Monta's status, I would still fully expect the Lakers to dominate, but it'll be good to see another game without Monta's presence to see how Curry runs the offense.
You could pick any 3 starters from the Lakers and tell me they're not going to play and I would STILL pick the Lakers to win. OK,if Bynum is out I'm going to put Gasol down for 25 points and 15 boards.
