? The Lakers will unveil their 19th different starting lineup this season, led by their sixth different starting point guard, when they host the Jazz tonight at Staples Center. Kendall Marshall, signed out of the D-League two weeks ago, will start at point guard for L.A. after Jordan Farmar became the latest L.A. backcourt player to go down with an injury. Farmar was diagnosed with another torn hamstring after leaving Tuesday's loss against the Bucks, his fourth game back after missing 10 games with a torn hamstring in a different area of the muscle. Farmar was starting after Steve Nash (nerve root irritation) and Steve Blake (elbow) were sidelined with injuries. The Lakers then lost two other fill-in point guards, Kobe Bryant and Xavier Henry, to knee injuries last month, leaving Marshall as the only healthy body at that position.
