The upcoming game against the Dallas Mavericks might see the Los Angeles Lakers missing key players, including the potential absence of future Hall of Famers LeBron James and Anthony Davis alongside injured shooting guard Cam Reddish.

According to Jovan Buha of The Athletic, Davis is likely to play despite dealing with lingering left hip/adductor spasms, and rookie guard Jalen Hood-Schifino is also expected to play through a persistent right patella contusion. However, James is listed as questionable due to the ongoing effects of a left calf contusion.

Reddish has already been ruled out due to left adductor soreness, potentially leaving the Lakers without three starters. The game’s outcome could be less dramatic, especially considering it falls on the second night of a back-to-back set with two aging stars.

In addition to the mentioned players, Jarred Vanderbilt (left heel bursitis) and Gabe Vincent (left knee effusion) remain sidelined, according to the latest NBA injury report. The current -3 favorite status for Dallas to win in Los Angeles tonight might be influenced by the Lakers’ injury challenges.
