Lakers guard Kobe Bryant doesn't plan to sit in either of the team's final two games.

He doesn't want to rest his legs and swollen right knee, but rather "sharpen up" in a back-to-back set against the Kings and Clippers beginning on Tuesday.

Bryant added "we want to win both of these games."

He shot just 8-for-23 on Sunday in a loss to Portland after sitting out the Lakers last two games.

"It feels pretty good," Bryant said of his body. "It's a little rusty, a little stiff from not playing, not being active. I'll be fine. That's why it's important to get out there and play a little bit, loosen up the joints a little bit ... It's OK. It feels strong."
