Los Angeles All-Star forward LeBron James and Houston All-Star center Alperen Sengun landed on their teams' respective injury reports.

The Los Angeles Lakers are fighting for a seeding position in the Western Conference standings. Right now, they are in the third spot in the West. They are still in danger of not getting home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

The Los Angeles Lakers have amassed back-to-back major victories over the Memphis Grizzlies and the Houston Rockets over their last two games. LeBron James and company put themselves in great position to avoid the Play-In Tournament and fight for seeding at the top of the Western Conference with wins over two other top conference opponents.
