Though the Lakers play only three home games during February, they will have plenty of time in Los Angeles, where they will co-host this year’s NBA All-Star Game.

The Lakers should have plenty of candidates for All-Star Weekend — from Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball in the Rising Stars Challenge to Larry Nance Jr. at the Slam Dunk Contest. But it will remain to be seen if there will be a representative in the big game itself.

Aside from that, the majority of the month will be spent away from STAPLES Center. The first week immediately sets that tone, as it begins with visits to Brooklyn and Oklahoma City as part of a season-long, five-game road trip.
