The Los Angeles Lakers have been without their number one option, LeBron James, since Christmas Day. On said occasion, the superstar endured a groin strain while on the road against the Warriors.
Certainly, it was not a very pleasant gift for the Lakers to receive. The ball club does not have nearly the same amount of talent in comparison to a group such as in Golden State.
Given James’ injury, the results of late have exposed this area of weakness. While the Lakers have won two in a row, they have won only three of their last eight chances.
