Brooklyn Nets vs LA Lakers Injury Reports for January 19 | 2023-24 NBA season 

The surging LA Lakers host the misfiring Brooklyn Nets on Friday, hoping to make it three wins in a row after getting the better of two quality teams in the West. D'Angelo Russell, Anthony Davis and LeBron James all played their parts in the Purple and Gold wins against the OKC Thunder and the Dallas Mavericks that have now put them at 21-21 and tenth place in the Western Conference. The Nets were undone by some clutch brilliance from Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons who helped eke up a close 105-103 win. Brooklyn is on a four-game losing streak and will hope to arrest the slide coming into the Crypto.com Arena on Friday, Jan. 19.

The injury reports of both teams are out, and the Lakers have some key names on the list. However, their superstars have been on the floor and a similar decision could work in their favor if they can get a better of the Nets' inconsistences.
