Analysis:

Bryant has been bothered by shoulder soreness for a while now and he's played through it more often than not. He'll be in the starting lineup and will likely see a similar usage as he has of late. Playing through the soreness on Monday against the Pacers, Bryant scored 19 points on 6-of-25 shooting.
