The Hornets have a tough test in this matchup, facing two legends - LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Both are very hard players to guard due to their overall strength and size. Mark Williams has struggled on opposing centers lately, as Gafford and Vucevic both scored over 30 points on him.

The win improved the Lakers' record to 25-18 on the season, good for fifth place in the Western Conference. Following the win over the Warriors, the Lakers revealed an injury update on James, who's been dealing with a left foot injury for quite some time.
