After losing five out of six games and nine out of 12, the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> have now won four of their last five contests and are 3-1 on their eight-game Grammy road trip. There is a chance that this momentum is real and that they are starting to turn things around.<\/p>\n

They will face a test on Wednesday when they take on the Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a>, who have a 28-20 record. While the Cavaliers haven’t been playing as well as many expected them to when this season began, they’re a very potent offensive team, and Donovan Mitchell, their main star, is having his best season yet.<\/p>\n

There was some hope that Austin Reaves, who has been out for about a month due to a gastrocnemius strain, would be able to return for Wednesday’s game. But he will be out once again, along with rookie forward Adou Thiero.<\/p>\n

Coach JJ Redick said last week<\/a> that Reaves would be activated at some point during this road trip, which will end next Tuesday, Feb. 3, against the Brooklyn Nets<\/a>. The guard hasn’t played since Christmas Day, and L.A. has gone 9-7 since then.<\/p>\n
