What our Post expert thinks about Lakers vs. Cavaliers<\/p>\n

With all the drama surrounding the Lakers right now<\/a>, a trip to Cleveland for King James could either be a welcome distraction or more fodder for pundits. James has often been linked to the Cavaliers, especially as his playing career winds down.<\/p>\n

On the floor, the Lakers will have their hands full trying to stop Donovan Mitchell and the Cavaliers. Since Dec. 22, the Cavs are 13-6 and rank fourth in the NBA in offense. The Lakers\u2019 defense ranks 23rd in the NBA over that same span.<\/p>\n
