The Los Angeles Lakers have been rolling lately, especially on the offensive end, and it has resulted in a six-game winning streak for them. In particular, their offense has looked fairly elite in the four games that LeBron James has returned from sciatica.
While James hasn't looked to score much in those four games, the Lakers are second in the NBA with 128 points a game and first with a 55% field-goal accuracy during that span. Unfortunately, they may have to play without him when they host the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday.

The Lakers will play again on Monday against the Phoenix Suns, who are doing surprisingly well after trading away future Hall of Famer Kevin Durant over the summer. After that, they will have three straight road games before returning home on Wednesday, Dec. 10, to face the San Antonio Spurs in the quarterfinal round of the Emirates NBA Cup.
