The Los Angeles Lakers might be down their two best players tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Kobe Bryant is experiencing flu-like symptoms which forced him to miss his team's shoot-around this morning.
He's uncertain if he'll play tonight, but coach Phil Jackson told reporters in these cases, "he usually does."
The Lakers are still missing the services of All-Star big man Pau Gasol. The Spaniard has yet to play this season because of a troublesome hamstring injury.
Bryant is averaging over 30 points and seven rebounds per game this season. The 11-time All-Star played in every game last season but missed four the year prior. The Lakers went 2-2 straight up and against the spread in those contests.
Oddsmakers originally had the Thunder listed as 7.5-point home dogs, but the line was quickly taken down when the news hit this afternoon about Bryant's questionable status.
