After a hot start to the season under new head coach JJ Redick, the Lakers have fallen off over the last few weeks.

They enter Thursday's showdown with a 14-12 record in 26 games, which has them as the tenth seed in the Western Conference.

The good news is they are just 1.0 games back of Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets for the fifth seed.

The Kings have surprisingly struggled on their home floor, going just 6-8 in the 14 games they have hosted in Sacramento.

Following Thursday, the Lakers and Kings will play in Sacramento (again) on Saturday.

Last season, the Kings beat the Lakers in both matchups that were on their home floor.
