The Los Angeles Lakers knocked off the Sacramento Kings, 125-101, on Sunday, Dec. 28 behind a 34-point performance from Luka Dončić, including 24 in the first half.

The Kings and Lakers are both dealing with some significant injuries, though, with neither team at full strength for this matchup. As usual, the Kings are gearing up to play without three starters. The Kings have ruled out Domantas Sabonis, Zach LaVine, and Keegan Murray for Sunday's game.

Los Angeles Clippers star forward Kawhi Leonard had the chance to have the franchise scoring record all for himself, but he told head coach Tyronn Lue that he'd rather be ready for the next game.

LeBron James posted 24 points on 11-of-13 shooting, while Nick Smith Jr. added 21 off the bench, including five 3-pointers.
