The Los Angeles Lakers are solidifying their NBA playoff position in 2025, fueled by the additions of Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton. Following a win over the Trail Blazers, Anthony Davis discusses how the duo has integrated into the team.

Davis suffered an ankle sprain on Christmas Day against the Warriors. He played just seven minutes in that game but did not miss the next game against the Kings. In fact, he has played in each of the last two games against Sacramento and the Cavaliers, playing at least 37 minutes in each matchup.

LeBron James ties Michael Jordan on an NBA record and Max Christie scores a career-high 28 points to lift the Lakers to victory over the Trail Blazers.

In just his second game as a 40-year-old, James had 38 points, three rebounds and eight assists on 15-of-25 from the field and 7-of-10 from deep. It marked the 562nd time that LeBron scored at least 30 points in a regular season game, which ties Michael Jordan for the most all-time.

The Los Angeles Lakers will look to start the new year on the right foot as they host the top team in the league and certainly in the Eastern Conference, the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavaliers have the best record in the league at 28-4.
