Considering Drummond has been on bad teams and so has Davis it's still a question. I wouldn't be to excited about a do or die play in where anything could happen

How many minutes does Andre get? It's confirmed that he's starting.
What about Gasol? I hope they play him 15 minutes per game, as he's still incredibly valuable.
Gasol hasn't shown up yet. For LA fans sake, hopefully he is conserving whatever fuel left for the postseason.

Not quite exactly true. His impact has been felt, per the advanced statistics. He's anchored for most of the season the #1 defense. His 3pt shooting was cold to start the season -- but it has heated up. Prior to his covid spell, he had a stretch of tremendous shooting.

He ranks 0.9 in BPM which is decent for someone playing his role. In RPM or "isolated impact" Gasol is a net negative though. At only ~19 minutes a game, not sure how he is LA's defensive anchor. AD and Bron have been clearly better on that end.
His three-point shooting has improved some. I'll give you that.

His D-LEBRON rating is particularly good.

Re: I believe it's highly likely that Andre Drummond absolutely balls out
Drummond sucks. He’s a scrub to throw at Jokic/Embiid/Giannis and pray you get lucky on a good defensive night from him. But he’s 0/1 so far on that.
Meanwhile Harrell would look like peak Amare for 7 straight games against Brooklyn if need be.
Edit: Hell Harrell would look like peak Harrell for 7 straight games against BKN.

I'm not concerned if I have LeBron and Davis both on my team. In a must-win game, they are balling

Going to be a while before you have both though. What happens in the meantime is the question

Re: I believe it's highly likely that Andre Drummond absolutely balls out
That didn't go as planned.
The Lakers are thinking about playing Gasol and Harrell together at C and PF. That might have some potential behind Drummond.

We were talking about play-in, which will not happen until mid-May (like May 18-20)... Until then we just have to stay within top 10 seeds

If by "balling out" you mean stubbing his toe, then it's highly likely.
