The Los Angeles Lakers got a steal with rookie sharpshooter Dalton Knecht, who could be the best first-year player in the NBA right now after erupting for a career-high 37 points and tying an NBA record with nine three-pointers in LA's sixth straight win on Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena.

• Knecht lights up Utah Jazz, missing only four shots en route to 37 points
• Rookie of the Year? Too early?
• Knecht to take Rui Hachimura's spot in the starting lineup?
• Lakers are red-hot, heading into a tough stretch of games
• Brutal schedule: Orlando Magic, Denver Nuggets, @ Phoenix Suns, @ San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder

The Los Angeles Lakers have a glaring need in the frontcourt, and they're anxious to acquire another player to pair with Anthony Davis in the paint.

• Lakers trade rumors continue to swirl
• Jonas Valancuinas, Brook Lopez or Walker Kessler? Maybe Nikola Vucevic?
• Jaxson Hayes and Christian Koloko won't be enough
• Christian Wood still on the mend

The Los Angeles Lakers will honor one of their greatest head coaches in franchise history, with the team to erect a statue in his honor outside of Crypto.com Arena.

• First, there was Pat Riley's Showtime era, then there was Phil Jackson with Kobe and Shaq
• Not only a great head coach but turned into an incredible NBA executive
• Who's the next Lakers legend to get a statue?
