Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome in its game day. Lakers Kings this afternoon. That's right, 3 p.m. Pacific time. The Lakers take on the Sacramento Kings once again, and then they see them again a week from today. That's right. We've got three matchups against the Kings in the span of a little over a week. Little crazy. I don't know what the schedule makers are doing to the Lakers, but regardless, the Lakers get a chance to beat the Kings for potentially the third time this season. Right now, L.A. is 2-0 against Sacramento. But a lot to talk about on today's show. I want to get into a very important injury report, big time update here in terms of tonight's game, or should I say again, this afternoon's game. We also need to get into a very strange thing that's going on with the Lakers. Absolutely bizarre. I'm shocked that this is actually happening when I dig into the stats. I'm going to get to that in just a minute as well. And I'll finish off today's show with the mailbag. Of course, I am Trevor Lane. This is the Lakers Nation.com podcast. No, I'm not in my typical

studio traveling, visiting family right out of that. My sister's place, seeing my sister,

my brother-in-law, as well as that little cutie back there, my niece. So I'm here in Kansas City

right now hanging out with family. But we'll still be live on the play by play tonight. So come join us again, three o'clock Pacific time. I'm going to say tonight, I'll show. That's pretty much a given. It's just muscle memory at this point. But it's this afternoon, 3 p.m. Pacific time is going to be the game. We'll be live on the play-by-play

on YouTube, YouTube.com slash Lakers Nation, as well as the Lakers Nation playback channel,

which you can find at playback.tv slash Lakers Nation. All right, let's get into this first.

So for tonight's game over on BetUS, right now, the Lakers are currently a six and a half point underdog and we're

going to get into the injury report in just a moment which is going to give us some insight into

exactly why they are a six and a half point underdog against the team that they just beat two

days ago so the lakers again currently the underdog, this is over on BetUS,

the Kings favored to bounce back tonight against the Lakers.

Now, that doesn't necessarily mean anything because the Lakers were a five-point

underdog two days ago against the Sacramento Kings,

and we know the way that played out.

It was a very big Lakers win, one that had coached J.J. Reddick said maybe his favorite win of the season. And I think he's right. I think it was a very important win for the Lakers, an impactful win. Can they do it once again? But right now, the Lakers is six and a half point underdog over on Bet U.S. If you guys want to get in on it, that U.S. right now has 150% sign-up bonus when you use the code Lakers Nation

on your first three deposits up to $2,000. So go check out, BetUS, use that code Lakers Nation. But once again, Lakers, a six and a half point underdog. Why are they the underdog? Well, this probably has a lot to do with it. Rui Hachamura is probable to play in this afternoon's game.

See, I got it at that time.

Rui Hachamara probable to play in this afternoon's game, but Anthony Davis with a left elbow

contusion and LeBron James with left foot injury management are questionable to play in this game.

So there's a chance that the Lakers could be playing without LeBron,

without AD.

We'd have to imagine if that's the case,
