We've got another exciting interconference contest on Tuesday's NBA schedule as the Los Angeles Lakers will host the Washington Wizards. Los Angeles is 22-18 overall and 14-6 at home, while Washington is 6-35 overall and 1-17 on the road.

In recent weeks, coach JJ Redick and James have both noted that the Lakers have no margin for error in games due to a thin roster. Jarred Vanderbilt and Christian Wood were expected to be key pieces of the team's rotation but have missed the entire season so far.

The Lakers could possibly reunite with Lonzo Ball ahead of the NBA trade deadline after LeBron James and Anthony Davis's comments.

The Los Angeles Lakers' more risk-averse approach to trades right now applies in more ways than one, according to the Los Angeles Times' Dan Woike.
