Here is what you need to know before the Lakers start their road trip against the Golden State Warriors.
1) Filling in for the King
After dropping a season-high 40 points in Tuesday’s win over New Orleans, LeBron James will not be in the lineup due to a sore groin.
James has been electrifying (even by his own towering standards) of late, eclipsing 30 points in three of his last four games. Last game saw him put on a one-man dunk contest, while somehow still having the time to cash five 3-pointers.
LeBron has missed only two games this season, with the Lakers splitting the results.
