The hottest team in the NBA is taking its winning streak to the West Coast.

Ja Morant and the Grizzlies will look to win their 12th consecutive game on Friday night when they face LeBron James and the Lakers. Memphis is coming off an exciting 115-114 victory against the Cavaliers and will attempt to carry that momentum into a five-game road trip.

Los Angeles, meanwhile, has lost four of its last five games and is fighting to stay in the Play-In Tournament picture. James has been spectacular in January, averaging 34.9 points, 9.4 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game, but he will need some help in this contest.

Here is everything you need to know about Lakers vs. Grizzlies, including TV and streaming options for the game.
