After winning two consecutive games against the Golden State Warriors and Orlando Magic, the Los Angeles Lakers host the Cleveland Cavaliers. Despite dealing with a sore shoulder, Kobe Bryant will play in his final matchup against LeBron James.
While the Lakers have been eliminated from playoff contention, they are playing good basketball since D’Angelo Russell has been reinserted into the starting lineup. Since the All-Star break, the second overall pick is averaging 19.4 points and 4.6 assists in 32.1 minutes.
