LeBron James makes his annual trip to northeast Ohio for a homecoming game against the Cavaliers in the first game of Wednesday’s ESPN doubleheader.
The Lakers are in the middle of a lengthy road trip that started last week in Denver and ends in Brooklyn the first week of February. The Cavaliers are starting to string together some wins after falling into a malaise. They have won six of their past seven games, including four in a row.

What our Post expert thinks about Lakers vs. Cavaliers
With all the drama surrounding the Lakers right now, a trip to Cleveland for King James could either be a welcome distraction or more fodder for pundits. James has often been linked to the Cavaliers, especially as his playing career winds down.
On the floor, the Lakers will have their hands full trying to stop Donovan Mitchell and the Cavaliers. Since Dec. 22, the Cavs are 13-6 and rank fourth in the NBA in offense. The Lakers’ defense ranks 23rd in the NBA over that same span.
