The West Coast matchup will tip-off at 10:00 p.m. EST on ESPN and will also be available via the NBA streams subreddit.

The Lakers will be honoring the late Los Angeles legend by furnishing the seats at the Staples Center with either a No. 8 or No. 24 Kobe Bryant shirts for fans to wear for the duration of the contest.

The Lakers hold the advantage over the Blazers on paper, as they have the best record in the Western Conference. While Portland is hungry to get themselves back in the playoff race, and have recent impressive wins over the Pacers and Rockets, it's hard to see the Los Angeles Lakers losing at home on such a significant night for the team, franchise and entire city of L.A.

Tonight's game is likely to be one of the most talked about games of the entire year. As sports fans around the world still mourn the loss of Kobe and his daughter Gianna, they will get the opportunity to watch players such as Damian Lilliard, Anthony Davis and Lebron James put their heart and soul out on the hardwood in tribute to the legendary Mamba.
