There is a bit of concern about whether new Lakers superstar Luka Doncic will sign a contract extension soon enough.

The New York Knicks will have as tough of a test as they can get, at the moment, on Thursday night. They will match up against the red-hot Los Angeles Lakers, who are riding a seven-game winning streak into this contest. The Lakers' superstar duo of Luka Doncic and LeBron James have been the driving force behind the recent success.

The Los Angeles Lakers picked up their 39th victory of the season on Tuesday and their seventh in a row after defeating the lowly New Orleans Pelicans, 136-115.
