LA Lakers Injury Report: Will LeBron James and Anthony Davis play against Houston Rockets? (Jan. 5)

The LA Lakers will face the Houston Rockets on Sunday in what promises to be a pulsating showdown between two Western Conference teams. The Rockets, currently the second-best team in the conference, will pose a tough challenge, and the Lakers will need to bring their A-game to secure a road victory.

The Purple and Gold will have their two biggest stars, LeBron James and Anthony Davis, available for the matchup. Both players are listed as available to play after being listed as "probable" on the Lakers' injury report

LeBron is managing a left foot injury that caused him to miss two games last month, while Davis is recovering from a left ankle sprain that sidelined him for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Meanwhile, Gabe Vincent, who has missed last three games owing to a left oblique strain, is listed as "doubtful."

JJ Redick's Lakers have been in impressive form recently, winning seven of their last 10 games and steadily climbing the Western Conference standings. The Purple and Gold currently sit fifth with a 20-14 record through 34 games.

The Lakers will enter their matchup against the Rockets with plenty of confidence. LeBron James and Co. wrapped up their four-game homestand on a high note, securing back-to-back wins on consecutive nights.
