The Los Angeles Lakers<\/a>‘ six-game road trip is now history, and after going 5-1 on that trip, they’re back home and set to host the Brooklyn Nets<\/a> on Friday as their regular-season schedule starts to wind down.<\/p>\n

They hold a 47-26 record and are trying to hold on to the third spot in the Western Conference. Six of their remaining nine games will be at Crypto.com Arena, and for the most part, their remaining schedule is fairly manageable.<\/p>\n

Luka Doncic and Rui Hachimura were listed as questionable for Friday’s game due to hamstring and calf ailments, respectively. Luckily, both will be available to play.<\/p>\n

Hachimura missed the Lakers’ last two games, while Doncic has been on a fantastic run throughout the month of March. The Slovenian superstar has won the last two Western Conference Player of the Week awards, and he just became the first NBA player to average at least 40 points over six games on the road since Michael Jordan<\/a> during the 1986-87 season.<\/p>\n

Veteran guard Marcus Smart and rookie forward Adou Thiero, on the other hand, will be out of action on Friday.<\/p>\n
