How to Watch Pacers-Lakers Game On Monday
Looking to keep things rolling in the right direction, the Los Angeles Lakers will be hosting the Indiana Pacers on Monday night in Los Angeles.
After beginning the season 2-10, the Lakers have quickly won five of their last six games and have been getting a ton of production from Anthony Davis, who really stepped up in LeBron James’ absence due to an adductor injury.
LeBron is now back for Los Angeles, but Davis missed the team’s previous game on Saturday due to a calf injury. His status for this game against Indiana is still up-in-the-air.
While the Lakers have been on a small hot streak, they have not picked up any quality looking wins, as they most recently beat the Detroit Pistons, the Brooklyn Nets and the San Antonio Spurs three times. Beating Indiana would definitely be a decent win that they could use to keep the momentum they have found.
Losing to the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night, the Pacers will be looking to get back on track during the second-leg of a back-to-back.
Tyrese Haliburton has been sensational this season at the point guard position for the Pacers and he is making a very strong argument to be a first-time All-Star this year, as Haliburton currently leads the league in assists.
Having a balanced scoring attack and having an athletic rookie in Bennedict Mathurin as a key scoring weapon off-the-bench, Indiana has been a pleasant surprise early on this season given how well they have played.
Will Indiana get their seventh win in their last nine games or will Los Angeles hold strong again, picking up their sixth win in their last seven games?
Here is how to watch Monday night’s game with gametimes and TV, lineups, bios and other must-know details.
