The Lakers are concluding a seven-game homestand against the New York Knicks, aiming to sweep the season series. Last matchup saw LeBron James shine with 33 points and a significant victory despite missing Anthony Davis. The game is especially anticipated as it marks the first matchup of the new superstar duo, James and Dončić. With key player matchups against Knicks stars like Brunson and Anunoby, the Lakers look to solidify their home success before a challenging road trip.
The last time these two teams faced each other, LeBron James had one of the best games of his season with a 33-point performance that led L.A. to pull off a massive upset at Madison Square Garden. It was a statement victory and a reminder that the version of the Lakers was still a force to be reckoned with.
Just like that, the Lakers transformed into a completely different team. That's why Thursday's playdate against the Knicks should be incredibly exciting.
There's no better way to send the Lakers off on their tough four-game road trip ahead than one more challenge at home, where they have a 24-7 record.
The Lakers also limited Brunson to 17 points and Anunoby to 13. They made Josh Hart the highest scorer with 26 and that's something the purple and gold gladly lived with.
