Brooks is just the sixth NBA player to register 25 points and five zeros since the league began tracking turnovers during the 1977-78 season

The Los Angeles Lakers will miss three starters and a key bench player ahead of their much-anticipated game against the Suns.

Christmas Day includes three NFL matchups and five NBA games. We're previewing them all with picks, predictions, storylines and more.

As far as the Los Angeles Lakers are concerned, it is well-known that they would love to acquire Herbert Jones of the New Orleans Pelicans and/or the Sacramento Kings ' Keon Ellis. It doesn't appear that either team is very eager to move either player right now, but plenty can change between now and the beginning of February.

Other defensive wings might be available — Derrick Jones Jr. (Clippers), Terrance Mann (Nets), Andrew Wiggins (Heat) — but the Lakers can trade one first-round pick, one second and find a matching salary (likely starting with Gabe Vincent), and the question becomes, will that be enough?
