The Los Angeles Lakers will be seeking a fourth straight win when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night.
It will be the second and final meeting of the season between the two teams. The Cavaliers bested the Lakers 129-99 in the first matchup in late January.
The game against the Cavs will be the second night of a back-to-back for the Lakers, who beat the Washington Wizards on Monday night.
Luka Doncic missed the game against Washington due to a league-mandated one-game suspension, but he will be back in action and available for the Lakers against Cleveland.
Meanwhile, LeBron James will also be available for the game after initially being listed as questionable due to left foot injury management.
James enters the game tied with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most combined regular season and playoff wins in NBA history, so if the Lakers come out victorious against the Cavs, James will break yet another league record.
The game will be important for both the Lakers and Cavs, as both teams are looking to maintain their postseason positioning. The Lakers enter the evening third in the Western Conference with a game-and-a-half lead over the Denver Nuggets, while the Cavs are fourth in the East.
