Lakers vs. Blazers: Lineups, injury reports and broadcast info for Monday

Here’s all you need to know before Monday’s Lakers versus Blazers game.

The Los Angeles Lakers play the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

Los Angeles (26-31) is coming off an inspiring win at the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. A couple of its new players made unmistakable impacts. Guard D’Angelo Russell had 15 points and six assists, including some key plays down the stretch, while big man Jarred Vanderbilt threw his weight around with 12 points, eight rebounds, four assists and one steal in 17 minutes.

The Blazers (27-29) are in 12th place in the Western Conference, just one spot ahead of the Lakers. After starting 10-4, they have struggled to string together wins, and defense (they rank 27th in defensive rating) has been a big culprit.
