LA Lakers vs. Indiana Pacers Preview

The Lakers suffered a 113-110 loss against the Detroit Pistons in their previous outing on Monday. Luka Doncic continued his red-hot scoring streak and dropped 32 points on the road. Doncic became the first player in NBA history to record nine consecutive games with 30 or more points.

LeBron James missed out on a triple-double by a solitary rebound, but he went scoreless in the first half before finishing with 12 points on 10 shots. Austin Reaves had 24 points and made a clutch basket to give the Lakers a one-point lead in the final minute of the game. The Lakers played without Marcus Smart and Rui Hachimura and might be without the duo again.

Meanwhile, the Pacers are coming off a 128-126 win over the Orlando Magic in their previous outing. Indiana was finally able to stitch together a solid game all across the board, with Pascal Siakam leading the charge with 37 points. The Pacers shot 54.9%, including 45.7% from beyond the arc, and committed just seven turnovers.

Jay Huff was the only Indiana starter not to score in double digits. Jarrace Walker chipped in with 20 points, Aaron Nesmith had 19 points, and Andrew Nembhard scored 13 points and dished out 14 assists.
