The Los Angeles Lakers face a challenging first-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, currently trailing 2-1 after a disappointing Game 3 loss. Despite a strong showing from Luka Doncic and LeBron James, the Lakers are seeking solutions as they approach Game 4. Fans are advocating for rookie Dalton Knecht, who has demonstrated remarkable scoring ability, including a 37-point game earlier in the season. However, Knecht has only played four minutes in the playoffs compared to other players like Jordan Goodwin, leading to frustration among supporters.

Head coach JJ Redick must decide whether to continue with the veteran lineup or leverage Knecht's shooting prowess and defensive tenacity to revitalize the team's performance. Given the Lakers' current predicament, a shift in the rotation could be crucial for their playoff hopes.
