The Los Angeles Lakers travel to take on the Indiana Pacers tonight, March 19th. Here is all the information you need to watch or listen to the game!

The Los Angeles Lakers begin their four-game road trip tonight. Their first visit on the trip will be to Indianapolis to take on the Indiana Pacers. This is the second and final time that the teams will face off this season.

In the first game, the Lakers won 99-86. The team will look a lot different this time around than when they faced off the first time.

Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr. are no longer on the team, as they were traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers at the trade deadline. In their place is Isaiah Thomas and Channing Frye. However, Frye will not be playing.

In the starting lineup that night the Lakers also used Corey Brewer, who is no longer on the team, Tyler Ennis and Josh Hart. Ennis could see some minutes off the bench, but Hart will not play either because of injury.

This time around, the Pacers will see Lonzo Ball and Brook Lopez. Ball has been struggling mightily with his shot recently, making 11-of-48 from the field in his last four games, including 4-of-24 from beyond the 3-point line.

Lopez, on the other hand, is playing his best basketball with the Lakers. He is helping to carry the offense, scoring in double-figures in 11 consecutive games. In four of those games, Lopez has reached 20 points.

That has helped keep the Lakers afloat with Brandon Ingram sidelined. Ingram missed the first meeting with the Pacers because of an ankle injury and will miss tonight’s game as well. Ingram is dealing with a strained groin and has been ruled out. However, he is getting closer to making his return to the court.

The Pacers, who are right in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race, need a victory. They have lost two games in a row and are sitting in the fifth spot in the conference. Everyone in the Eastern Conference is trying to avoid having to face LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round and to do so, they need to keep winning games.

If the Lakers are to defeat the Pacers again they will need to slow down Victor Oladipo. Oladipo scored 25 points in the first meeting, as Los Angeles didn’t really have an answer for him. Luckily for the Lakers, not many of his teammates really stepped up to help.

Something will have to give tonight as both teams enter on two-game losing streaks. Will it be the Lakers or Pacers that snap theirs? We will have to watch and find out!
