The Los Angeles Lakers end their All-Star break on Wednesday night when they host the Charlotte Hornets at Crypto.com Arena in a game that was originally scheduled to take place on Jan. 9. The game was postponed and eventually rescheduled for Wednesday due to the wildfires that ravaged the greater Los Angeles area last month.
The Lakers hold a 32-20 record and are in fifth place in the Western Conference and are looking to move up in the standings in the days and weeks to come. They won 12 of their last 15 games leading into the All-Star break.
