Steve Blake (thigh) is likely to play against the Sixers on Friday, according to coach Mike D'Antoni. The Lakers will be starting Steve Nash, Blake, Wes Johnson, Ryan Kelly and Robert Sacre against a very soft Philly interior defense. Blake is coming off a triple-double on Wednesday and should see a nice allotment of minutes at both guard spots. As of right now, the Lakers have eight players available to play, assuming Blake is ready.
