Vucevic will need to assist in defending Luka Doncic and that&#8217;s going to pull him out of position to record easy rebounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vuc hasn&#8217;t played the Lakers yet this season, but he has fallen short of this line in 2 of his last 3 games. This is brutal rebounding spot for Vucevic especially with Giddey and White on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"anchor\" id=\"newsletterfrm\"><\/a>\n<div class=\"hottest_play_area\">\n  <div id=\"newsletter_widget\" class=\"hottest_play_third_area newsletter_widget\">\n    <div class=\"hottest_play_third_area_content\">\n      <div class=\"sign-up-offer-text\">\n        <p>SPECIAL OFFER FOR FIRST TIME SUBSCRIBERS<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"newsletter-thank new\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        <a class=\"anchor-newsletter\"><\/a>\n        Thanks for signing up!
