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

Here’s all you need to know ahead of Monday’s Lakers vs Cavaliers game.

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

After a classic, clutch victory over the streaking Toronto Raptors on Friday, the Lakers blew a sizable lead on Saturday against the Washington Wizards, a team that had been riding an extended losing streak.

L.A. is now tied with the New Orleans Pelicans for the 10th spot in the Western Conference, making its chances of reaching the play-in tournament even more tenuous.

LeBron James passed Karl Malone on Saturday to move into second place in career points in NBA history. He is now closing in on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the all-time leading scorer in league history, something he could accomplish next season.

For James, this annual trip to Cleveland marks a return to his home region of Northeast Ohio, and one would think he would want to put on a special performance back in his old stomping grounds.
