The Los Angeles Lakers will be taking on the Sacramento Kings tonight. NBA fans will remember that all the main stars of the Lakers, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook, did not play in their last game against the Phoenix Suns. Thus, the team ended up losing with a final score of 130-104.
They will be looking to get a win and stop any potential losing steak. After all, the Lakers currently hold a record of 13 wins and 17 losses. The Sacramento Kings are doing surprisingly well so far into the NBA season. Led by De’Aaron Fox and Domontas Sabonis, they are at 16 wins and 13 losses.
As both these teams face off we should be interested in knowing the injury reports for this matchup. Also, an idea of the expected rosters and a prediction is also useful.
LeBron James is listed as probable for the Los Angeles Lakers vs Sacramento Kings game tonight
“Probable” is actually quite positive news for Lakers fans. Despite this being his 20th season, something that should be considered the very back end of one’s career, the King recently went off on a streak of 30-point games. However, he should certainly keep his age in mind.
That said, here are the complete injury reports and expected rosters for this game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings.

The Lakers will be slightly favored over the Kings
There is no arguing that the Sacramento Kings currently hold a better record than the Los Angeles Lakers. However, they are coming off a loss to one of the worst teams in the league at the moment, the Charlotte Hornets. Thus, they are certainly not invincible.
