Alex Caruso

SG, Los Angeles Lakers

Alex Caruso will replace Dwight Howard in the starting lineup for Sunday's Game 6, as expected.

The Lakers will go small, with Caruso giving them better defense against a wider variety of Miami's players. Howard is also coming off a dreadful Game 5, making this decision fairly easy for Frank Vogel. Teams don't usually change much when they get out to a 3-1 series lead but the Lakers are being proactive here in an effort to close out the season tonight.
