The Knicks head to Los Angeles to take on the surprisingly shitty Los Angeles Lakers. However, much of that shittiness has been based on the fact that the Lakers have built the team around two superstars, Lebron James and Anthony Davis, where both of them are routinely missing tons of games and are also often playing hurt when they do play. When Lebron and The Brow are both healthy (I should say “If,” as it may never actually happen), the Lakers are still a good team. Not a great team, but a good team.
While Melo will miss tonight’s game, Lebron and Davis will both play tonight – but are they actually healthy or are they just going to hobble through things, Kemba Walker style?
