Preview

The Los Angeles Lakers will travel to Gainbridge Fieldhouse and take on the Indiana Pacers this evening. The Pacers are favored by two points at home here.

Los Angeles Lakers

It's been a really interesting season for the Los Angeles Lakers so far. Their comeback win in Detroit was admirable, but it did come at a cost.

LA will hope to LeBron James back tonight after missing his annual MSG spot this year. The Lakers are at their best with the King on the court, but he's missed more games than played this season.

Anthony Davis has been a stud night in and night out, and he's leading the team in scoring (24.3) and rebounding (10.3). Carmelo Anthony has been very effective from deep, shooting 44% so far.

Russell Westbrook is starting to come in his own as a Laker. He posted a triple-double in the Garden last night, and will look to continue to gel with this roster.

Indiana Pacers

The Pacers enter this three-game home stretch on the heels of back-to-back wins. They blew a Bulls team out on the road on Monday, and look to keep the momentum going.

Malcolm Brogdon continues to improve on a year-to year basis. He's leading the Pacers in points (20.9) and assists (6.1), while grabbing 6.1 rpg.

Domantis Sabonis is having another fantastic year up front for Indiana. The former Gonzaga big is scoring 17.9 ppg and leading the team with 11.1 rpg. He's a reliable double-double threat, and he's bound to secure his first triple-double of the season soon.

Caris LeVert and Chris Duarte have been in and out of the lineup, but their both set to play this evening.

Prediction

The Lakers are in a funk, but the return of LeBron James should get them right this evening. The Pacers are liabilities defensively, and if Anthony Davis can have his way on the block, we could be blessed with an underdog victory here.

Take a swing on the Lakers ML tonite.
