Later tonight the Lakers and Hornets will meet for the first time this season. Los Angeles should have LeBron James (left ankle soreness) and Russell Westbrook (left foot soreness) on the floor as both players are listed as probable on the injury report.

Anthony Davis (right foot soreness) and Juan Toscano-Anderson (right ankle sprain) remain out while Austin Reaves (right ankle sprain) is questionable.

For Charlotte three players are on the injury report. Namely, Cody Martin is out with left knee procedure and Terry Rozier (right hip contusion) and Dennis Smith Jr. (left ankle sprain) are listed as questionable.

Both teams are sitting at the bottom of their respective divisions. The Lakers are 13-18 which puts them in the 13th place in the Western Conference, while the Hornets are in the 14th place in the East with 8 wins and 24 losses.
