CLEVELAND, Ohio — LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers come to town to take on the Cavaliers. Both teams are hanging around fifth place in their respective conferences. Each having won 28 games but the Lakers have lost only 17 compared to the Cavs 20 losses.
Meanwhile, the Lakers are at full strength, while the Cavs will once again be missing guards Darius Garland and Sam Merrill. De’Andre Hunter is day-to-day.
LeBron is 41-years-old, but playing like he’s 30, averaging 22.4 points-per-game while shooting 50.7% overall and 32.8% from 3.
The Cavs seem to be hitting a groove, having won four in a row and seven of the last 10. It would be nice if the Cavs can spoil LeBron’s homing.
