With 30 games of the 2024-25 season in the books, the Los Angeles Lakers find themselves in a decent position as they currently sit in sixth in the Western Conference standings.
The Lakers are coming off an impressive Christmas Day victory against the Golden State Warriors where they managed to hold on in the closing minutes. Los Angeles was shorthanded as Anthony Davis was forced out of the game early due to a sprained ankle, but the rest of the team was able to step up in his absence.
Rui Hachimura noted he was grateful to play on Christmas and to win the game, but now the Lakers must turn their attention to another matchup with the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night.
