The Lakers have won four of their last five and have what should be an easy back-to-back against the 8-44 Pistons, followed by a road game Wednesday against a Utah Jazz team that just traded away four key rotation players. It is a chance for El Lay to show some of the same mojo that was on display back in December when they won the inaugural NBA Cup in Las Vegas. They have been a very mediocre team since then, however, and the superstar tandem of James and Anthony Davis has not gotten any steady support from a supporting cast that simply may not be championship material. James has carried worse teams all the way to the NBA Finals, but that was when he was playing in the Eastern Conference. Now, in 2024, he is in a loaded Western Conference in which the Timberwolves, Thunder, Clippers and Nuggets are in a tight battle for first place overall. The Pistons are on the fourth stop of a five-game Western swing and have defeated the Kings and Trail Blazers.

Detroit center Isaiah Stewart is out with a sprained left ankle. Lakers guards Gabe Vincent (knee surgery), Jarred Vanderbilt (foot sprain), Cam Reddish (sprained ankle) and Max Christie (sprained ankle) are out. James (ankle) and Davis (hip) are questionable.

Milwaukee is coming off a very encouraging takedown of the Denver Nuggets on Monday night in which they held their opponent below 100 points for the second consecutive game, the first time that has happened all season. It may happen a third time against a Miami team that averages 110.4 points per game, second-fewest in the East. The Heat have won four of six but are coming off a home loss to Boston and will now play back-to-back on the road against the Bucks and Sixers prior to the All-Star break. Miami will be without their best player tonight as Jimmy Butler is missing the game for personal reasons. Milwaukee is favored by 8.5.

Heat vs. Bucks Injury Report

Aside from Butler (personal reasons), Miami will be without Terry Rozier (sprained knee) and Josh Richardson (dislocated shoulder). Duncan Robinson is questionable with a left elbow injury. The Bucks are not reporting any injuries.

NBA Schedule Tonight - Tuesday, February 13: Kings at Suns

2023-24 NBA Regular Season Game

The Suns had a nice three-game winning streak going but unfortunately added a chapter to the Steph Curry heroics novel when Golden State’s marksman knocked in a game-winning 3-pointer with 0.8 seconds left Saturday night. The Suns have had three days to recover from that loss, and they will be playing at home in front of a national television audience. That is usually a formula for success, especially when it comes to Kevin Durant, but they are going to have to solve the puzzle that is Domantas Sabonis, Sacramento’s triple-double machine, along with DeAaron Fox, who scored at least 30 in two of the three previous meetings with Phoenix this season. The Kings are seeking respect, and one way to earn it is with a quality road victory against a loaded opponent on national TV. Should be a good one. The Suns are favored by 5.5.

Kings vs. Suns Injury Report

Sacramento forward Sasha Vezenkov is out with a sprained ankle, and Chris Duarte is questionable with a sprained ankle. The Suns are not reporting any injuries.

When ticking off the list of the most impressive wins by any team anywhere, the Wolves’ 21-pooint victory over the Clippers in Los Angeles on Monday night is right at the top of the heap. This Minnesota team gets very little national attention, but they have been getting the job done throughout the season as their big man tandem of Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns gives them a look that no other NBA team has. Also, Anthony “Antman” Edwards probably has the lowest national profile of any All-Star, but the guy is a baller who is due for an epic individual performance. The Trail Blazers are playing for ping pong balls, and they are an 8.5-point ‘dog. The Wolves’ overnight travel is keeping that line in single digits, but this is a mismatch.

Timberwolves vs. Trail Blazers Injury Report

Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon is out with elbow tendinitis, and center Robert Williams is out with a torn knee ligament. Leading scorer Anfernee Simons is probable with a sprained ankle, and guard Scoot Henderson is questionable with a sprained left foot. The Wolves are not reporting any injuries.
