Considered one of the best players of all time (for some, THE best), Lebron is surely the best hope the Lakers have to get out of the situation in which they are right now, even more without Anthony Davis.

He has an average of 9.8 points, 8.4 rebounds and 7 assists per game in the season.

In the last game against the Kings, he got close to a triple-double, with 32 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists.

The star of the visiting team has as average of 27.4 points per game, 7.9 assists and 5.6 rebounds.

In the last game against the Cavaliers, he scored 24 points and eight assists
 

This match will be the first one between the two teams in the current season. In the previous one, they met four time and the Memphis Grizzlies won three of them, being two at home and one on the road. The other one was held in Los Angeles.
