Lakers vs. Cavaliers: Lineups, injury reports and broadcast info for Saturday
The Los Angeles Lakers visit the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
This will be the first contest of a challenging four-game road trip for the Lakers. They had won six out of seven going into Wednesday’s game at home against the Dallas Mavericks, but they fell behind big, and their late comeback attempt ultimately fell short, dropping their record to 9-7.
They’re expected to be short-handed for this contest. While forward Jarred Vanderbilt and guard Gabe Vincent, arguably their two best perimeter defenders, continue to be out, they will also be without Rui Hachimura. Los Angeles also could be without Cam Reddish, who had played well in seven straight starts until being pulled from action this week due to groin soreness.
The Cavaliers are looking to build upon their success last season, when they finished fourth in the Eastern Conference. But they’re currently just 8-7, which puts them in eighth place in the East. They lost by 33 points on Wednesday to the Miami Heat, and they have also been banged up, as star guard Donovan Mitchell and wing Isaac Okoro didn’t play on Wednesday.
