Underdog NBA: "Lineup alert: Spurs will start Jones, Vassell, Johnson, Sochan, Poeltl on Friday."
The Lakers had been without James for the last five games, so they are getting their best player back in the lineup.
In the five games without the four-time NBA Champion, they went 3-2.
On the season, the Lakers are 5-11, which has them as the 14th seed in the Western Conference.
They are still looking to win their first game on the road, as they have gone 0-6 outside of Los Angeles.
The Spurs (6-13) are in the middle of a six-game losing streak and have gone 1-11 in their last 12 games.
They started out 5-2 but have completely fallen off since that point and are the 13th seed in the west (with a 3-6 record in the nine games they have played at home).
