It’s been a bumpy season up to this point for the Lakers, but they’ve been on a roll lately.

Following a five-game losing streak, the Lakers have won four of their last five to improve to 20-19. They are coming off a win over the Kings in which LeBron James led the way with a game-high 31 points.

It was the 16th time James scored 30 or more points in a game this season, the most in the NBA. Hot on his heels, second is Hawks guard Trae Young with 15 30-point games.

Young had his highest-scoring game of the season earlier this week, coming off with 56 points in a loss to the Trail Blazers.

On Friday, the two stars will meet for the first time this season when the Lakers host the Hawks. The Lakers will look to keep their winning streak alive, while the Hawks will look to get a much-needed victory.
