Lakers' Austin Reaves: Iffy against Indiana
Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.comReaves (elbow) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Reaves surprisingly popped up on the injury report for the Lakers ahead of Saturday's game against the Pacers. The 26-year-old guard has played all but five games for Los Angeles this season but might be watching from the sideline against Indiana. If ruled out for this game in Los Angeles, the Lakers could turn to Shake Milton and Gabe Vincent to help pick up the slack in the backcourt.

Lakers' LeBron James: Questionable for Saturday
James (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
James is coming off an incredible performance in Thursday's win against the Warriors, finishing with 42 points, 17 rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one block. However, the 38 minutes played might have taken a toll on his right ankle, which might keep him out against Indiana. If the superstar forward cannot play Saturday, the Lakers could turn to Rui Hachimura and Dorian Finney-Smith to help shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Lakers' Mark Williams: Iffy to make LAL debut Saturday
Williams (trade pending) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Williams was dealt to the Lakers ahead of Thursday's NBA trade deadline in a deal involving Los Angeles sending Dalton Knecht and Cam Reddish to the Hornets. However, the 22-year-old big man might not make his debut with his new team Saturday against the Pacers with the trade still pending. If he isn't cleared, Los Angeles will likely start Jaxson Hayes at the center position.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Another double-digit scoring effort
Hachimura recorded 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 39 minutes during Thursday's 120-112 win over Golden State.
Hachimura has now tallied double-digit points in sixth straight games, and he has also accomplished this feat in nine of his last 10 outings. Over those 10 appearances, the veteran forward has averaged 15.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.9 threes in 31.3 minutes while shooting 41.3 percent from deep. That said, Hachimura's fantasy value could take a hit once Luka Doncic (calf) is in the fold, as Hachimura is set to be bumped back down to fourth in the pecking order when it comes the top scoring options in the Los Angeles offense.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Full stat line with poor efficiency
Reaves recorded 23 points (4-17 FG, 0-9 3Pt, 15-16 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals across 36 minutes during Thursday's 120-112 win over the Warriors.
Reaves struggled mightily from three-point land Thursday, but he was able to supply a full stat line and sink a season-high 15 free throws in 16 attempts to salvage an inefficient shooting night from the floor. Across his last nine contests, the 26-year-old has averaged 19.1 points, 6.6 assists, 4.6 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.2 threes in 33.9 minutes. A dip in ball-handling duties could be headed the way of Reaves once Luka Doncic (calf) is cleared to make his Lakers debut, which could translate to an increase in his efficiency as opposing teams focus more on containing Doncic.

Lakers' LeBron James: Drops season-high 42 points
James (foot) ended with 42 points (14-25 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 17 rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes during Thursday's 120-112 victory over the Warriors.
It was the 24th double-double of the season for James, who also registered his first 40-point game of the season Thursday. Over his last five games, the future Hall of Famer has averaged 31.2 points, 9.8 assists, 9.4 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.6 threes while shooting 44.8 percent from downtown. James could see a slight downtick in usage when Luka Doncic is ready to return from a calf strain, but he'll certainly remain an elite fantasy option across all formats.

Lakers' Christian Wood: Remains out Thursday
Wood (knee) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Wood has yet to play this season while recovering from the left knee surgery he underwent in September. On Wednesday, head coach JJ Redick told Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com that he had no formal update on the status of Wood, who appears safe to rule out through the All-Star break. With the Lakers adding Mark Williams at the trade deadline to supplement a frontcourt mix that already includes Jarred Vanderbilt, Jaxson Hayes and Dorian Finney-Smith, Wood will likely find himself out of the rotation once he returns to full health.

Lakers' Gabe Vincent: Upgraded to available
Vincent (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
As expected, the Lakers have upgraded Vincent from probable to available Thursday. The veteran guard has played a meaningful role in the Los Angeles rotation over his last eight games, during which Vincent has averaged 8.9 points, 2.5 assists, 1.1 rebounds, 0.6 blocks and 2.0 threes in 24.5 minutes.

Lakers' LeBron James: Good to go Thursday
James (foot) is listed as available for Thursday's game against Golden State.
The Lakers continue to include James on the injury report due to left foot injury management. However, he hasn't missed a contest since Dec. 28. Over his last 10 outings, the superstar has averaged 25.6 points, 9.9 assists, 7.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 33.6 minutes per contest.

Lakers' Luka Doncic: Targeting Monday for debut
Doncic (calf) is targeting Monday's game against Utah for his Lakers debut, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.
Doncic has been sidelined since Christmas Day due to a left calf strain, though he resumed taking part in 5-on-5 practice Wednesday after being acquired from the Mavericks three days earlier. While he's on track to remain out Saturday versus the Pacers, Doncic could continue to practice Friday and Sunday, and if all goes well, the Lakers will likely clear the way for him to suit up against the Jazz. Before he was traded to Los Angeles over the weekend, Doncic appeared in 22 games for Dallas and averaged 28.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 3.4 three-pointers and 2.0 steals across 35.7 minutes per game.
