It will be the second and final meeting of the season between the two teams. The Cavaliers bested the Lakers 129-99 in the first matchup in late January.<\/p>\n

Luka Doncic available, LeBron James ‘questionable’ vs. Cavaliers<\/p>\n

The game against the Cavs will be the second night of a back-to-back for the Lakers, who beat the Washington Wizards<\/a> on Monday night.<\/p>\n

Luka Doncic missed the game against Washington due to a league-mandated one-game suspension, but he will be back in action and available for the Lakers against Cleveland.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, when it comes to LeBron James\u2019 status for the game against his former franchise, we\u2019ll have to wait and see. James is listed as \u201cquestionable\u201d on the official injury report<\/a> for the contest due to left foot injury management. His final status will be determined prior to tipoff.<\/p>\n

The game will be important for both the Lakers and Cavs, as both teams are looking to maintain their postseason positioning. The Lakers enter the evening third in the Western Conference with a game-and-a-half lead over the Denver Nuggets<\/a>, while the Cavs are fourth in the East.<\/p>\n
