#1 Jeremiah, LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers (30-18) who was felled by an injury on March 20th when the Atlanta Hawks forward Solomon Hill fell on his ankle resulting in a high ankle sprain. LeBron isn’t expected back in the Lakers line up until April 20th.

#2 The Lakers have lost six of their last 12 games playing .500 and another source of the Lakers lacking is the absence of Anthony Davis who is suffering from calf injury. Davis has been out of the Lakers line up since Feb 14th. With LeBron and Davis gone the team has been a .500 club.

#3 The last time the Kings (22-26) faced the Lakers was on March 3rd and the Kings won it on their home floor 123-120 and yes you guessed it LeBron and Davis were not in the line up that night.

#4 The Kings had a five game win streak up until they played game 2 of their two game series in San Antonio the Spurs 120 (24-21) and the Kings 106. The Kings shooting was was real close in the second half but it was the first half scoring by the Spurs that clinched it for them.

#5 The Lakers are coming off a tough loss to the Milwaukee Bucks (30-17) 112-97. It was too much Giannis Anteokoumpo who scored 25 and Jrue Holiday led in scoring with 28. Lakers needless to say won’t be coming in too happy facing the Kings tonight.
