While both teams have struggled this season in the Western Conference, the Lakers and Kings will showcase the youth and current stars such as Bryant and DeMarcus Cousins.
Los Angeles
The Lakers season has been a mess, but they have salvaged it a bit lately as they’ve improved their play.
They were shell shocked by the Warriors last time out, but had built a 3 game winning streak prior to that. Los Angeles averaged just 93 points per game while Bryant sat out 3 straight games.

Julius Randle was questioned about his maturity level by Byron Scott earlier this week and he has responded with less complaining and harder work during practice. His stats haven’t shown though.
Over the last two games, Randle is just 1 of 12 shooting, and has just 4 points.
Back on Oct. 30, the Lakers fell to the Kings in Sacramento 132-114. Bryant recorded 13 points and played one of his better games of the season.
Sacramento
The Kings just missed their 3rd straight win as they fell to the Mavs in double overtime 117-116 last time out.
Sacramento has looked like a brand new team with the calendar flipping to a new year as they closed out 2015 with a loss to the lowly 76ers. However, in 2016, the Kings opened it with a bang. Sacramento dropped 142 points against the Suns and grabbed the franchise’s first win over the Thunder.

G Rajon Rondo continues to battle a back injury as he sat out on Tuesday. Rondo is listed as QUESTIONABLE for Thursday.
