Lakers face Wizards while close to becoming whole again

While Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James progresses toward his return from a high ankle sprain, guard Dennis Schroder is helping to pick up the slack. Schroder collected his third straight double-double in the Lakers' 114-103 road victory over the Orlando Magic on Monday. The win ended a three-game losing streak for the fifth-place Lakers, who sit two games ahead of the sixth-place Mavericks in the Western Conference after Dallas' Tuesday win over the Golden State Warriors.
