The Los Angeles Lakers may be shorthanded once again on Friday against the Miami Heat, as the team is listing Avery Bradley as questionable and Rajon Rondo as doubtful.
Bradley missed the Lakers' game on Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls due to a bruised lower leg, while Rondo has yet to play this season:
#Lakers guard Avery Bradley is QUESTIONABLE to play tomorrow vs. #Heat.
Rajon Rondo is considered DOUBTFUL.

The Lakers are riding a six-game winning streak heading into their matchup with the Heat. After losing to the Los Angeles Clippers on opening night, the Lakers have defeated the Utah Jazz, Charlotte Hornets, Memphis Grizzlies, Dallas Mavericks, San Antonio Spurs and Bulls. Stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis are clicking on all cylinders and have LA primed for a deep playoff run this season.
The Heat, led by Jimmy Butler, are 5-2 on the season. Miami plays the Phoenix Suns on Thursday, so the Lakers will have the rest advantage against the Heat. Plus, you know LeBron is going to want to put on a show against his old team. James, of course, played four seasons with the Heat and won two championships.
Whenever Rondo is ready to play, Lakers head coach Frank Vogel has hinted that he will join LeBron, Davis, Danny Green and JaVale McGee in the starting lineup. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope started for Bradley against the Bulls.
