LeBron and AD are leading the Lakers with a 16-12 record, which is sixth in the Western Conference standings.</p><p>This is another opportunity to add a W in the win column. Perhaps the Lakers will clear James for Monday’s game to build off their three-game winning streak despite going 5-5 in their last ten outings. Davis wasn’t as sharp as LeBron. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-mic-catches-lebron-james-shutting-down-kings-fan-nsfw-diss">James is coming off of his 32-point performance</a> against the Kings.</p><p>However, Davis has dominated since the start of the Lakers’ winning streak. He continued his streak of six consecutive double-doubles, starting with a 40-point, 16-rebound performance in the Lakers’ 116-110 win against the Grizzlies. Then, he nearly went 20/20 (21 points, 19 rebounds) in Los Angeles’ first win against the Kings (113-100) before picking up their second on December 21.</p><p>Meanwhile, James has remained relatively consistent throughout December. In his last seven games, he has averaged 24.9 points on 47% shooting, 8.3 assists, 7.0 rebounds, 1.1 blocks, and 1.1 steals. James flirted with a triple-double in the Lakers’ last meeting against the Pistons, finishing with 20 points, 11 assists, and eight rebounds in a 115-103 loss. Davis scored 37 points and pulled nine rebounds in the same game on November 4.</p><p>Still, regarding James and Davis’ status for Monday’s game, there’s a good chance we’ll see both players in action at the Crypto.com Arena.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

For a team that has seen <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-la-intriguing-lebron-james-anthony-davis-injury-updates-grizzlies-game">their share of injury concerns</a> this season, the Lakers listed both LeBron James and Anthony Davis <a href="https://x.com/Dave_Yapkowitz/status/1870997668207685716" rel="noopener">on their injury report</a> ahead of their matchup with the Pistons.</p><p>Both LeBron James and Anthony Davis were listed on the Lakers’ injury report as questionable.

He’s been shooting 45.2 percent from the field and 66.7 percent shooting from the free-throw line.</p><p>He exploded for one of his best games of the season thus far in the Lakers’ most recent win against the Kings on Saturday. He finished with 32 points, seven rebounds, six assists and four steals.</p><p>The middle of the pack in the Western Conference is so close that with the recent win streak, the Lakers have jumped up into sixth place in the standings after hovering near ninth/tenth. A margin of one and half games is all that separate the No. 5 seed from the No. 11 seed.</p><p>The Lakers are currently 16-12 and have gone 5-5 in their last ten games.

With the Lakers already up two points with 12 seconds left, Anthony Davis went to the free-throw line and missed both attempts.

Meanwhile, Davis is having an MVP-caliber season, contributing 27.5 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.2 blocks, and 1.3 steals per game. Davis has also improved his three-point shooting to 30%, a career-high mark.</p><p>The duo played pivotal roles in the Lakers’ 113-100 victory over the Kings on Thursday. James delivered 19 points, seven assists, six rebounds, and a block, while <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-austin-reaves-25-point-stat-proving-to-be-pivotal">Davis dominated with 21 points, 19 rebounds, six blocks</a>, four assists, and three steals, anchoring the team’s defense.</p><p>The Lakers’ defensive performance has been a cornerstone of their recent success.
