LeBron James and the LA Lakers are preparing for Tuesday's showdown against the Orlando Magic. After their loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, the Lakers will hope to bounce back with a strong performance.
Los Angeles finds itself at 13-20 for the 2022-23 NBA regular season. After showing some signs of hope, the Lakers have lost four straight games. The Lakers continue to be shorthanded as their superstar big man Anthony Davis is sidelined with a foot injury.
While Davis has been out, superstar forward LeBron James has continued to put up impressive numbers. James had another strong outing on Sunday against the Mavericks. He finished with 38 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists on 13-of-23 shooting in 34 minutes. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough as the Lakers lost 124-115.
LA Lakers superstar LeBron James is probable for Tuesday night's game
LA Lakers superstar forward LeBron James is listed as probable for Tuesday night's game against the Orlando Magic. He has been dealing with left ankle soreness, but is expected to be active against the Magic.
With the Lakers in the midst of a four-game losing streak, Tuesday night's game against the Orlando Magic will be crucial. The Lakers are in the second game of a five-game road trip. After tonight's game against the Magic, the team will face the Miami Heat on Wednesday.
It will be a short turnaround, meaning that James' status for Wednesday will be worth monitoring as well. The Lakers currently find themselves in 13th place in the Western Conference standings. They are 2.5 games behind the Golden State Warriors for 10th place.
While LeBron has been on the court this year, he's continued to be a force offensively. In his last eight games, he's averaging 32.1 points, 6.0 rebounds, 7.1 assists, and 1.0 steals per game. During that span, LeBron is shooting 55.7% from the field.
The Lakers will need to get some more contributions from their depth. If they don't, they risk falling down the standings in the Western Conference.
