The Los Angeles Lakers host the San Antonio Spurs tonight, January 11th at the STAPLES Center. Here is all the information you need to watch or listen to the game!
The Los Angeles Lakers homestand started off slow, as they lost the first two games. However, once they got healthy, they have gotten back on track. Granted, their two-game winning streak came against the Atlanta Hawks and Sacramento Kings. At this point, the Lakers will take whatever wins they can get.
Now, the Lakers will be stepping back up in competition. They are looking to win their third straight game and end the homestand on a high note. It will not be easy, as the Lakers will be hosting the San Antonio Spurs tonight.
The Lakers will be catching a break tonight against the Spurs. The Spurs always rest players and have some injuries, so the Lakers will not be facing a fully healthy Spurs team.
Tonight, the Spurs will be without Rudy Gay and Kawhi Leonard. Point guard Tony Parker is likely to be out, as he is doubtful with an ankle injury. Shooting guard Danny Green is questionable with a left groin ailment.

Despite that lengthy injury report, the Spurs still have plenty of firepower. LaMarcus Aldridge has had an excellent season as the Spurs go-to man with Leonard being sidelined. He will be a handful for the Lakers to slow down tonight.
While the Spurs have injury concerns, the Lakers are finally getting healthy. Brook Lopez and Lonzo Ball have both returned to the starting lineup and the Lakers have looked like a totally different team in the past two games.
With Lopez and Ball back in the fold, the Lakers rotation is finally beginning to come together again. Everyone is settling into their roles, as Luke Walton looks to finally have a starting lineup to stick to with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Brandon Ingram and Julius Randle joining Lopez and Ball in the starting lineup.
That allows Jordan Clarkson and Kyle Kuzma to thrive as a one-two scoring punch off the bench.
Will that be enough to keep up with and upset the Spurs tonight? Or will the Spurs end the Lakers winning streak? We will have to watch and find out! Here is all the information you need to watch or listen to the game!
