Catch the Spurs vs the Lakers on Wednesday, January 7. Here's everything you need to know about how to stream the game.

Lakers star LeBron James will not play against the Spurs on Wednesday -- the second game of a back-to-back -- with the team citing multiple injuries.

The teams square off for the third time this season. The Spurs won 132-119 in the last matchup on Dec. 11. Stephon Castle led the Spurs with 30 points, and Luka Doncic led the Lakers with 35 points.

But in the Lakers' 120-114 victory against those same Grizzlies on Sunday, they improved in that aspect. Redick said they mishandled only one play coming out of a timeout, and LeBron James, who had 26 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds, talked about how they made that improvement.

The Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Lakers play a rematch of their Friday game in Los Angeles, as Memphis finishes its brief stay on the West Coast. Despite being down two starters, L.A. won the first game, extending the Grizzlies’ losing streak to three.

Luka Doncic led the Lakers past Memphis with 36 points, nine rebounds and eight assists as Los Angeles held off the Grizzlies’ second-half surge. The 120-114 victory marked the Lakers’ second consecutive win over Memphis in a back-to-back series that Coach JJ Redick said replicates playoff intensity.

The Lakers coach lambasted his team Thursday after they were blitzed 119-96 against the Houston Rockets in front of their home fans at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California. The Lakers entered the game with a better record than the Rockets, but looked like the inferior team from the opening tip.

Los Angeles Lakers center Deandre Ayton appears to be frustrated with his role on the team. Head coach JJ Redick talked about it after their first game against the Memphis Grizzlies, and Ayton responded after their second meeting with the same opponent.
