Lakers vs. Kings: Lineups, injury reports and broadcast info for Jan. 12
The Los Angeles Lakers play the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
Los Angeles (21-20) is looking to get back into the win column after a rough loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. This is the start of a two-game road trip for L.A., and it features a team it just beat last week. LeBron James took over in the fourth quarter to lead the Lakers to a win. But the Kings like to play big, so Dwight Howard might get the start. Howard’s entrance revived Los Angeles’ defense when the two teams last met.
Sacramento (16-27) is on a five-game losing streak, which started with the loss to L.A. Consistent effort has been a major hurdle for the team, but it also struggles talent-wise. De’Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton lead the squad, but lack of quality depth is affecting Sacramento again.
The Lakers need to capitalize on a struggling team and get back to two games above .500. This is also the regular-season finale for both teams. The Lakers lead the season series, 2-1.
