LeBron James and the LA Lakers have had a dismal start to the regular season. The team currently holds a 2-7 record, and lies in the bottom half of the Western Conference.

They are struggling to find their form despite solid performances from The King. With averages of 24 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists per game, LeBron is easily the Lakers’ best player.
This was also the case last night as the Purple and Gold played host to James’ former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers. In what was a gut-wrenching loss for the Lakers, LeBron scored a massive 27 points, collected 7 boards, and dished out 4 assists.
However, the loss to Cleveland comes in at a bad time. This game was the first of back-to-back nights for the team. As the Lakers prepare to face the Jazz in Salt Lake City, fans have to wonder, will LeBron feature in back-to-back games?

Safe to say that both The King and AD are an effective one-two punch but the Lakers will need to find offense from elsewhere tonight. However, they face a Jazz team that has performed beyond expectations so far this season. Only time will tell if they can prevail.
