The Portland Trail Blazers (11-10) and Los Angeles Lakers (7-12) will play each other on Wednesday night in Los Angeles. Here’s how to watch, with gametime and TV information, lineups, bios, plus other key information pertaining to both teams.

The Portland Trail Blazers may have won the first game of this season series, but the Los Angeles Lakers will be looking to even things up and get back in the win column against Portland on Wednesday night.

Playing for the second consecutive night, the Blazers will be looking to bounce back after a tough second-half loss at home to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Leading by as many as 18 points, Portland was unable to put Los Angeles away and they had trouble finding scoring production outside of Anfernee Simons and Jerami Grant, who combined for 69 points.

Damian Lillard remains out with a calf injury and as a result, Portland will have to rely on their defense against the Lakers.

As for the Los Angeles Lakers, Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis and LeBron James are all back on the floor together again and it looked like Los Angeles was going to pick up a much-needed win on Monday night against the Indiana Pacers, but then they blew a 17-point fourth quarter lead and lost 116-115 at home.

The Lakers are still searching for consistent play themselves and now 7-12 on the season, Los Angeles is beginning to enter “desperation mode” heading towards the holiday season.

Will the Lakers prevail at home or will the Blazers continue to impress early on this season?

Here is how to watch Wednesday night’s game with gametimes and TV, lineups, bios and other must-know details.
