Lakers' Luka Doncic: Will play in All-Star Game
Doncic (hamstring) will start Sunday's All-Star Game against Team USA Stars and be on a minutes restriction, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
Doncic missed the Lakers' final four games prior to the All-Star break due to a left hamstring strain, but he'll suit up Sunday for Team World. However, the superstar is expected to play only in the first game of the round-robin tournament. With Doncic returning to action for the All-Star Game, it appears likely he'll be ready to go by the Lakers' game against the Clippers on Friday.

Lakers' Luka Doncic: On track for All-Star Game
Doncic (hamstring) is expected to play in Sunday's All-Star Game, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.
Doncic has missed the Lakers' last four contests due to a left hamstring strain, but he's in line to make a cameo Sunday after successfully making it through a workout prior to Thursday's win over Dallas. Barring any setbacks, all signs point toward the superstar guard being ready to roll for the Lakers' Feb. 20 matchup versus the Clippers on the other side of the All-Star break. Over his past 10 appearances before getting injured, Doncic averaged 30.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.1 steals in 32.8 minutes per game.

Lakers' Marcus Smart: Hands out six dimes
Smart amassed nine points (4-14 FG, 1-9 3Pt), two rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 victory over the Mavericks.
Smart was back in the lineup after missing Tuesday's game against the Spurs with right ankle soreness. His fantasy appeal is mostly limited to deeper formats, as he's averaging 9.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in 28.4 minutes per contest heading into the All-Star break.

Lakers' Jake LaRavia: Notches 11 points in win
LaRavia posted 11 points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 26 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 win over the Mavericks.
Heading into the All-Star break, LaRavia has more than established himself as a key member of the rotation. Through 54 appearances, he's averaging 26.8 minutes with 9.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 three-pointers.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Looks good in Thursday's start
Hayes had 16 points (8-10 FG), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 34 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 victory over the Mavericks.
Making his third start in the last four games while Deandre Ayton (knee) is on the mend, Hayes tied his season scoring high while setting new season highs in minutes and steals. The 25-year-old center is averaging 13.7 points, 5.0 boards, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals in 21.7 minutes over the last three contests, but his role is likely to shrink once Ayton is cleared to return.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Pops for 18 in return
Reaves recorded 18 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds and six assists in 28 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 124-104 win over Dallas.
After sitting out the second game of a back-to-back Tuesday, Reaves was back in action Thursday and led the Lakers' second unit in scoring -- the rest of the team's bench managed just 21 points combined. In five games since returning from a calf injury in early February, Reaves is averaging 20.0 points, 4.8 assists, 4.2 boards, 1.6 threes and 1.0 steals in 25.4 minutes, and he could be ready to rejoin the starting five on the other side of the All-Star break.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Strikes for 21 in Thursday's win
Hachimura notched 21 points (9-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 35 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 win over Dallas.
Making his fourth straight start, Hachimura produced his best scoring effort since Jan. 26, when he dropped 23 points in Chicago. The 28-year-old forward heads into the All-Star break averaging 14.3 points, 3.3 boards, 2.3 threes, 1.3 assists and 0.8 steals during his starting stint, but he'll likely return to the bench when starters Deandre Ayton (knee) and Luka Doncic are cleared to get back on the court.

Lakers' LeBron James: Secures historic triple-double
James tallied 28 points (10-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, 12 assists and one block in 35 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 win over the Mavericks.
James made NBA history Thursday by becoming the oldest player to record a triple-double, per Dan Woike of The Athletic. His stellar all-around performance powered the Lakers to a victory, as he shot the basketball with efficiency from the field and dished out double-digit assists for a fourth straight outing. James will cruise into the All-Star break having averaged 22.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 1.0 steals in his last six matchups.

Lakers' Luke Kennard: Back in bench role
Kennard will be deployed off the bench Thursday against Dallas, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Kennard filled in admirably in a spot start Tuesday against the Spurs, but he'll retreat to his typical bench role for LA's final game before the All-Star break. He's averaging 10.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in his last four outings off the bench.

Lakers' Kobe Bufkin: Shifting to bench
Bufkin won't start Thursday's game against the Mavericks, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Bufkin was tapped for a spot start Tuesday with the Lakers without several key contributors, but he'll return to his usual bench role Thursday. The 22-year-old may not receive many chances to play given LA's backcourt has returned to health other than Luka Doncic (hamstring).

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Remaining on minutes limit
Reaves will play 25-to-30 minutes Thursday night against the Mavericks, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Reaves logged 29 minutes in his previous appearance Monday against the Thunder before sitting out the second half of a back-to-back Tuesday. The Lakers are still monitoring the guard's minutes closely following his return from a calf injury, but he's continuing to inch closer toward a full workload.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Considered day-to-day
Ayton (knee), who has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Dallas, is being considered day-to-day, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
All signs point to Ayton being cleared for a return after the All-Star break. The big man was sent for imaging to rule out a significant injury, and the results came back clean, per Dan Woike of The Athletic. Ayton will have just over another week to recover and rehab before the Lakers face off against the Clippers on Feb. 20.

Lakers' Luka Doncic: Should return after break
Doncic (hamstring) is expected to return to the court in the Lakers' first game after the All-Star break Feb. 20 against the Clippers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Coach JJ Redick stated Thursday that Doncic is progressing well, but the club is exercising caution given the fact that he's dealing with a soft tissue injury. The star guard suffered the hamstring injury Feb. 5 but will benefit from the All-Star break, as it appears he'll miss only four games in total.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Won't play Thursday
Ayton won't play in Thursday's game against Dallas due to right knee soreness, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Given the nature of the issue, it's fair to anticipate Ayton being able to return right away once the Lakers return from the All-Star break. Jaxson Hayes and Maxi Kleber are primed to split the center minutes Thursday, with the former being the more appealing fantasy option of the two.
