Victor Oladipo
SG, Indiana Pacers

Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that the Pacers will consider Mike Brown as a candidate for their vacant head coach position.

Brown joins Becky Hammon, Dave Joerger, Jacque Vaughn, Mike D'Antoni and a host of others on Indiana's list. Previously a head coach in Cleveland, Brown has spent the last four years as an assistant on Steve Kerr's staff in Golden State.

Dwight Howard
C, Los Angeles Lakers

Dwight Howard saw just 16 minutes off the bench in Friday's win over the Nuggets but made the most of his time on the floor, producing 13 points, three rebounds, two steals and two blocks.

Howard made 4-of-5 shots from the field and true to form, made just five of his eight attempts at the line. Despite his limited time, mostly due to fouls (four fouls), Howard was able throw the Nuggets off their rhythm with his two blocks and two steals. The key to the Lakers' success in this game was the strong effort they got from their role-players. Danny Green, who scored just eight points on 3-of-10 shooting, still made a huge impact with a team-high plus-10 in the +/- column.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
SG, Los Angeles Lakers

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was the Lakers' second leading scorer with 18 points (6-of-10 FG, 3-of-4 FT) on Friday, hitting 3-of-5 3-pointers and adding one rebound, one assist, one steal and one block in 30 minutes.

KCP was a solid second scoring option for L.A. tonight, just behind Anthony Davis' 37 points. He's a notably streaky shooter and it so happened that he was in the zone tonight. That said, his great game was timely as LeBron James quietly put up 15 points and 12 assists while dealing with a sore right groin.

JaVale McGee
C, Los Angeles Lakers

JaVale McGee logged just 11 minutes in his return to the starting lineup on Friday, missing his only shot (a 3-pointer) and recording one block during his time on the floor.

A flurry of fouls is what kept McGee off the court for an extended period (four fouls). The Nuggets tried to run at a quick pace, which also proved to be a poor matchup situation for him. We may not see much of McGee in this series, with the exception of brief stints to put a body on Nikola Jokic.

LeBron James
SF, Los Angeles Lakers

LeBron James (sore right goin) was noticeably quiet as he put up just 15 points (6-of-11 shooting) on Friday, but made up for it by facilitating the Laker offense with 12 assists to go with six boards.

We can likely chalk up James' quiet outing to that sore right groin. That said, the Nuggets have a lot to be concerned about if they get dismantled this easily with James on cruise control. For now, James is content to see his teammates deal the damage on the scoreboard, but expect him to be able to amp up his game on a moment's notice if he's ever needed to do so. Nuggets are going to be in for a tough challenge dealing with James and Anthony Davis and the rest of the Lakers squad.
