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.
