The Los Angeles Lakers continue their four-game road trip in Miami with a showdown against the Heat Wednesday night.
The Lakers are playing on the second night of a back-to-back after their game against the Orlando Magic, which saw them halt their four-game losing streak with a 129-110 win, while the Heat bounced back from a two-game skid with a victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday.
LeBron has been in dominant form across the Lakers’ past four games, averaging 32.7 points and he is expected to play, while Jimmy Butler is listed as ‘questionable’ on the injury report with a right ankle sprain, which ruled him out of the Heat’s previous game.
Can LeBron lift the Lakers to victory in his return to South Beach? Or will the Heat spoil the party?
Here is everything you need to know about Lakers vs. Heat, including TV and streaming options for the game.
