Its been a rough 30 days for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Since their win on Jan. 7 against the Hawks, the Los Angeles franchise has lost nine of its 14 games since. Many of these struggles are a product of injuries, especially with respect to their Big Three.
In these 14 games, their superstar trio of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook have played together just twice.

Is LeBron James playing tonight?
Per the team's latest injury report, LeBron James is declared as "probable" with "left knee soreness/effusion".
James suited-up in the team's previous game, when they hosted the Knicks on Saturday, after missing the five previous contests.
Playing 40 minutes, he recorded a triple-double of 29 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists in the team's 122-115 overtime win.
After the team's practice on Monday, James said he felt "pretty good". He believes he hasn't suffered any setback but will continue his around-the-clock treatment until the game and then take a call before tip-off.
The last time the Lakers faced the Bucks in Milwaukee on Nov. 17, they had no answer for Giannis Antetokounmpo. The reigning Finals MVP erupted for 47 points as he led Milwaukee to a 109-102 win.
