The Los Angeles Lakers and the Indiana Pacers will meet at the Crypto.com Arena in the NBA on Friday night. The Lakers (37-25) are sixth in the Western Conference standings, while the Pacers (15-47) are 15th in the East. Let’s get into the key stats!
The Los Angeles Lakers will be looking to bounce back to winning ways here after seeing their three-game win-streak brought to an end by the Denver Nuggets 120-113 last night.
Luka Doncic once again led the team with 27 points, but he reportedly got into an argument with JJ Reddick during the match, which is something to keep an eye on. LeBron James passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in total field goals made, now on 15,838.
The Lakers are 18-12 at home and have won five of their last six against this opponent. James sustained an elbow injury last night and is questionable.
Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers are the coldest team in the NBA at present, and enter this match following a seventh consecutive defeat, going down 130-107 to the Clippers on Wednesday.
The Pacers allowed 42 points in the first quarter and 39 in Q3 of that match. They have the worst defensive rating in the league and the second-worst shooting efficiency this season.
Indiana have only won five of 30 away games this season and will be without Ivica Zubac, Tyrese Haliburton and Johnny Furphy for this match.
