The Los Angeles Lakers will look to snap a two-game losing streak when they play against the Kings in Sacramento on Monday night.
It will be the third meeting of the season between the two teams, as the Lakers already bested the Kings in October and then again in December. The teams will also meet again in March.
LeBron James will play vs. Kings on Monday night
LeBron James missed the first meeting between the teams on the season as he was sidelined with sciatica, but he did play against the Kings in December and posted 24 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in 29 minutes in the contest.
Luckily for the Lakers, he’ll be available for the third meeting of the season between the teams, too. James isn’t listed on the official injury report for the contest and thus will be good to go.
The Lakers will only be missing two players for the game against Sacramento on Monday night. Austin Reaves (calf strain) and Adou Theiro (MCL sprain) have both been ruled out of the game.
On the season, James has appeared in 19 games for the Lakers and posted averages of 21.9 points, 6.9 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals per performance.
The Lakers enter the contest against the Kings fifth in the Western Conference standings with a record of 23-13. Meanwhile, the Kings, who have won just two of their last 10 games, are 14th in the conference at 9-30.
