The 37-year-old James will miss his third straight game with left knee soreness. Davis injured his right wrist during Thursday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers and was out of the lineup in Friday’s contest against the Charlotte Hornets.

Guards Russell Westbrook and Malik Monk are both listed as probable.

The Lakers (24-26) currently sit in ninth place in the Western Conference.
