How to watch Lakers vs Kings today: Time, TV channel

The Los Angeles Lakers visit the Sacramento Kings on Thursday, and if you’re wondering how to watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

The Lakers have had the last three days off and played just two games in the last 10 games, but they will now return to the usual grind of having a few games each week. They had lost eight of 11 contests until making a solid statement on Sunday by defeating the Memphis Grizzlies, 116-110, to improve to 14-12. It wasn’t a win to take lightly — the Grizzlies had come in having won 10 of their previous 11 games and are the highest-scoring team in the NBA.

Sacramento is in 12th place in the Western Conference, two spots behind L.A., with a 13-14 record. But it seems like no one associated with the Lakers is underestimating De’Aaron Fox and crew. The Kings have taken four of their last six contests, and with Fox, Domantas Sabonis and DeMar DeRozan each averaging over 21 points a game, they’re one of the league’s most dangerous offensive squads.

This will be the second time these two teams will face off against each other this season. The Lakers defeated Sacramento on Oct. 26, 131-127, but the Kings swept the Lakers in last year’s season series, and overall Los Angeles has lost eight of its last 10 versus the Kings.

Here’s how to watch the Lakers game, including time, TV schedule and streaming information:
