The Los Angeles Lakers are set to face their crosstown rivals, the LA Clippers, at the Intuit Dome on Sunday night. However, the Lakers may be without their star player, Anthony Davis, who is listed as questionable due to a calf injury. This would mark his second consecutive absence, having missed the last game where the Lakers emerged victorious against the Brooklyn Nets with a close score of 102-101. Austin Reaves stepped up in Davis's absence, scoring a career-high 38 points.
As it stands, the Lakers occupy the sixth seed in the Western Conference with a 22-17 record, riding a two-game winning streak. Meanwhile, the Clippers hold the fifth seed with a record of 23-17, setting the stage for an intense matchup in the bustling LA basketball scene.
