The Lakers lost to the Sacramento Kings, a below .500 team in the Western Conference. LeBron James had a good performance as he scored 34 points in the game, but that wasn’t enough for a victory. Malik Monk scored 22 points and Austin Reaves had 19 off the bench. No other Laker player could score in double digits.

Over the past few games, Russell Westbrook has cut down his number of turnovers. He has had four turnovers in the last four games, which is impressive from Westbrook’s standards. This four-game stretch also included two games with zero turnovers. But on the other side, his production is reduced to single digits. In the last three games, he has had 8, 6, and 9 points respectively.

Westbrook’s efficiency is the biggest cause of worry. In the month of January, Westbrook has played a total of five games. In this stretch, Westbrook is 22-75 from the field in these five games, which is a miserable 29% from the field. He is shooting 0% from the three in this stretch because he has failed to nail a three in his 12 attempts. His free-throw efficiency has been 66%.
