This afternoon, the LA Lakers will take on the Indiana Pacers. The Lakers are on a 3 game winning streak, and have a very winnable game in front of them tonight, even though they are on the tail end of a road back to back. The pacers continue to chug along without Paul George and George Hill. The Lakers will be without Ryan Kelly (torn hamstring), while Xavier Henry, Steve Nash & Julius Randle have also been ruled out for the season. For a more in depth summary of tonight's match up, check out the game preview: Lakers @ Pacers Preview. Here are tonight's projected starters:
| Los Angeles Lakers | Indiana Pacers | |
| PG | Jeremy Lin | C.J. Watson |
| SG | Kobe Bryant | Rodney Stuckey |

| PF | Carlos Boozer | David West |
