Is LeBron James Playing Tonight vs Rockets? Lakers Issue Injury Report for the ‘Scoring King’
The Los Angeles Lakers, after their tough loss to the New York Knicks at home, found their way against the New Orleans Pelicans last night. Playing without LeBron James, the Lakers managed to build a lead as large as 40 points before winning the contest 123-108.
Anthony Davis had a huge game as the Lakers went on to dominate the Pelicans in the first half. The former Pelican finished with 35 points, 17 rebounds, with 12 of 13 shooting from the FTs. Malik Beasley finally erupted for the Lakers as he went 7 of 12 from the deep, scoring 24 points in the win.
