The Lakers are currently without two of their best players, guards Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. Doncic will likely miss the entire first round, while there is a chance Reaves returns if there is a Game 5 or 6 in the series.
Los Angeles traded for Kennard in February prior to the trade deadline. At the time, it wasn't viewed as a move that would take the Lakers over the hump. That may still be the case; however, through two games, it looks like it will be enough to advance to the second round without Doncic and Reaves on the court.
In 32 games as a Laker in the regular season, Kennard averaged 9.0 points per game, 2.4 assists and 2.6 rebounds. He will be an unrestricted free agent this summer.
