It’s a homecoming kind of few days for the Los Angeles Lakers. Only a few days after Anthony Davis dominated in his Chicago homecoming, LeBron James will make his long trip this season to Northeast Ohio, as the Los Angeles Lakers face off against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night for the third game of their season-long seven-game road trip.
The team waiting for LeBron and the Lakers has been one of the surprises of the young season. While the Cavs are on the second game of a back-to-back, the team comes in having played above expectations in large part thanks to the improved play of point guard Collin Sexton. Sexton is averaging nearly 26 points per game and looks the part of the team’s franchise guard of the future.
In addition to Sexton, guard Darius Garland, wing Isaac Okoro and their big man rotation, which recently added Jarrett Allen in a trade from Brooklyn, make them a competitive outfit every night.
Here’s when you should tune in to see the game:
- Date: Monday, Jan. 25
