Starting against Lakers Gasol is in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Lakers, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

Gasol averaged 7.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 27.5 minutes this season and should continue splitting time with Serge Ibaka.

Leads team with 18 points in win Ibaka compiled 18 points (8-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 17 minutes in Friday's 94-83 scrimmage win over the Rockets in Orlando.
Impact Marc Gasol sat on the bench during the scrimmage, so Ibaka had plenty of opportunities Friday. He's picking up right where he left off in March, when he rattled off three consecutive double-doubles before play halted. He will share minutes with Gasol, while Pascal Siakam will siphon some rebounds away, but prospects are bright for Ibaka when the seeding games commence.
