With 21 games left in the regular season, it's zero dark thirty time for the Lakers.
In their last outing, the Lakers came from 27 down to defeat the Mavs on the road. The win, however, didn't come without a cost, as LeBron James hurt his right foot in the second half.
James was able to finish the game, but he was seen hobbling in a now-viral video postgame. He will not be available for the Lakers' game against the Grizzlies on Tuesday due to his right foot injury.
Los Angeles sits 12th in the West, half a game out of the last Play-In spot occupied by New Orleans. The Lakers currently own a 2-1 season series advantage over the Pelicans with the final game between the two teams coming on March 14.
Before the Lakers can get to that game against the Pels, they'll need to take care of business against one of the best teams in the conference on Tuesday, the Grizzlies.
The last time the two teams met, more was made about the shouting match between Dillon Brooks, Ja Morant and what felt like the entire city of Memphis and TV personality Shannon Sharpe. While all that was going down, the Lakers secured the victory.
Tuesday's game has all the makings of must-see TV. Here are all the details on how to catch the nationally televised game.
