After collecting their second straight blowout victory, the Los Angeles Lakers are back at home for the second night of a back-to-back against the Portland Trail Blazers, whom they defeated in five games in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs in the NBA bubble. Also, with the second night of a back-to-back for the Lakers, we will have to consider which players could miss the game.
Anthony Davis, who sat out Sunday’s blowout win, is still day-to-day with a calf strain. Meanwhile, Alex Caruso is questionable to play with an injury to a muscle in his hand and LeBron James is listed as questionable after turning his left ankle in yesterday’s win, although he did play after turning his ankle when stepping on the foot of a Timberwolves player. For Portland, Carmelo Anthony did not make the trip due to “health and safety protocols.”
