The Los Angeles Lakers (40-25) are set to host Phoenix Suns (31-36) on Sunday, March 16. This will be their first home game following a four-game road trip. After registering eight straight wins, the Lakers were aiming to continue their winning momentum on the road. However, things didn’t go as planned.

The Lakers received a significant blow as LeBron James suffered an injury. They went on to lose all their four games on the road. In their last match, a young Lakers team gave a tough fight to the Nuggets, but went down 131-126. Now that they are back at the Crypto.com Arena, and the JJ Redick side will aim to find their confidence and get back on the track.
