I’m going to keep this short and sweet. The Lakers need to beat the Kings today. For one, the Lakers have lost 3 of 4 games and getting back on track is important. Two, the Kings are down De’Aaron Fox and Harrison Barnes, two of their better players. Three, LeBron James could very well come back tonight after being upgraded to questionable from being out indefinitely. In fact, per Shams Charania, if Bron goes through warmups and feels okay, he will play, making him a true gametime decision.
When you add up all those factors, this is a game the Lakers need to nab.
