LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers (30-41) will take on Darius Garland and the Cleveland Cavaliers (41-30) in part of the NBA Monday slate.
In the Lakers’ previous game, they were defeated by the Washington Wizards with 127-119 being the final score. LeBron James finished with 38 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists while Russell Westbrook chipped in 22 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists to go along with.
The Cavaliers are coming off a 113-109 win over the Detroit Pistons. Darius Garland recorded 24 points and 12 assists in this one while Evan Mobley finished with his 20th double-double of the season with 12 points, 11 rebounds, and six assists.
The clear-cut top storyline in this game will be LeBron James playing in Cleveland for potentially one of the few final times in his NBA career barring a change of team. However, he’s questionable to play in this one, but lately, he’s been playing through that status on the injury report.
