Lakers' Gabe Vincent: Questionable for Tuesday
Vincent (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Vincent has been upgraded to questionable after missing the Lakers' last eight games due to a back strain. If the 29-year-old guard is cleared to play Tuesday, fewer minutes will be available for the likes of Nick Smith and Dalton Knecht. Across six appearances (two starts) in December, Vincent averaged 5.7 points while shooting 33.3 percent from the field in 21.2 minutes per contest.

Lakers' Marcus Smart: Making regular starts
Smart produced six points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, four assists and one block in 31 minutes during Sunday's 120-114 victory over the Grizzlies.
With both Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura nursing calf injuries, Smart has started four consecutive games and eight of his last nine. During that latter stretch, Smart has averaged 8.3 points, 3.7 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 28.9 minutes per game.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Efficient scoring continues
Ayton produced 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's 120-114 win over the Grizzlies.
The star big man continues to roll along during his first year with the Lakers. Ayton has averaged 12.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 steals in 29.7 minutes per contest over his last 14 games, shooting a robust 71.6 percent from the floor.

Lakers' LeBron James: Dials up double-double in win
James amassed 26 points (8-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Sunday's 120-114 victory over the Grizzlies.
James posted his first double-double since mid-December during the win, embracing his role as a ball distributor with 10 assists. Although James' massive streak of double-digit scoring performances was snapped last month, he's come nowhere close to single-digit territory since then, averaging 25.2 points, 5.8 assists, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.2 steals over 11 games.

Lakers' Jake LaRavia: Logs 26 points against former team
LaRavia posted 26 points (9-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Sunday's 120-114 victory over Memphis.
LaRavia continues to find his groove in his new surroundings, and he reminded the Grizzlies of what they gave away last season with a convincing total. Although Rui Hachimura (calf) will likely reclaim his starting role when he recovers, LaRavia is making a case for more playing time at the position, as the team looks more energetic with him in the first unit.

Lakers' Luka Doncic: Logs massive 36/9/8 line in victory
Doncic contributed 36 points (10-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 12-13 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and one block across 39 minutes during Sunday's 120-114 win over Memphis.
The Lakers' first unit was on point Sunday night with Doncic leading a third-quarter charge to put the game back within reach. Sunday marked Doncic's fourth consecutive game with 30-plus points, and his eighth time surpassing that barrier over his last 10 games.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Out at least two more games
Hachimura (calf) has been ruled out for the Lakers' upcoming two-game road trip, which begins Tuesday at New Orleans, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Hachimura has already missed three games due to a right calf injury, and he's guaranteed to miss at least two more games. If he's ready to return when the Lakers return from the road trip, he could play Friday against Milwaukee. Hachimura's absence has opened up more opportunities for Jake LaRavia and Dalton Knecht.

Lakers' Bronny James: Recalled to NBA
Los Angeles recalled James from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Saturday.
James saw 11 minutes of action during Saturday's G League contest against the Memphis Hustle, in which he recorded a season-high 20 points. However, he's now back with the NBA team, where he's usually a bench option and is averaging 1.6 points, 0.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.5 steals per game this season.

Lakers' Bronny James: Assigned to G League
The Lakers assigned James to the South Bay Lakers on Saturday, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.
James has been used sparingly in the Lakers' rotation this season, so he'll go to the G League to get more reps. Across eight appearances with South Bay, James is averaging 11.0 points, 4.6 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 threes over 30.9 minutes per game.

Lakers' Jake LaRavia: Hits for 21 in Friday's start
LaRavia closed Friday's 128-121 win over the Grizzlies with 21 points (8-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes.
Making his second straight start while Rui Hachimura (calf) is on the shelf, LaRavia scored more than 20 points for the first time since Nov. 2, when he dropped 25 points on the Heat. The fourth-year forward has scored in double digits in five of the last seven games (four starts), averaging 11.7 points, 5.9 boards, 2.7 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.3 threes and 0.9 blocks in 31.0 minutes a night over that stretch.

Lakers' LeBron James: Strikes for 31 against Grizzlies
James chipped in 31 points (12-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds and six assists in 36 minutes during Friday's 128-121 victory over Memphis.
Luka Doncic led all scorers on the night with 34 points, but James kept pace with his younger teammate. The future Hall of Famer has scored more than 20 points in seven of the last 10 games, averaging 25.1 points, 5.7 assists, 5.6 boards, 1.7 threes, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks over that stretch while shooting 55.4 percent from the floor.

Lakers' Luka Doncic: Dials up game-high 34 in win
Doncic racked up 34 points (8-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 17-20 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Friday's 128-121 win over the Grizzlies.
The 26-year-old superstar scored at least 30 points for a third straight game and the 13th time in 16 contests dating back to Nov. 15. Over that stretch, Doncic is averaging 33.5 points, 8.4 assists, 7.6 boards, 3.3 threes and 1.4 steals, and his 33.6 points per game on the season lead the NBA.

Lakers' Gabe Vincent: Won't play Sunday
Head coach JJ Redick said that Vincent (back), who has already been ruled out for Friday's game against Memphis, won't play in Sunday's rematch versus the Grizzlies, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Vincent hasn't played since Dec. 14 due to a back injury, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday against New Orleans. While the 29-year-old guard will remain sidelined Sunday, Redick said he's hopeful Vincent will participate in practice Saturday. With the seventh-year pro unavailable, Nick Smith and Dalton Knecht will likely see increased playing time.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: More minutes on tap
Head coach JJ Redick told reporters Friday that Knecht will see more minutes Friday against the Grizzlies and for the foreseeable future, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Knecht has seen single-digit minutes in six of his last nine NBA games and has spent time in the G League with the South Bay Lakers. However, the second-year wing is poised to be more involved in the Lakers rotation due to the absences of Gabe Vincent (back), Rui Hachimura (calf) and Austin Reaves (calf). Knecht will have a chance to establish a more consistent role for himself starting Friday in the first game of the Lakers' two-game home set against Memphis.

Lakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: Available Friday
Vanderbilt (leg) is available for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
Vanderbilt was initially listed as questionable for Friday's contest due to right leg soreness, though he was eventually upgraded to probable and has now been cleared to suit up. The 26-year-old forward has logged 20-plus minutes in six consecutive contests, averaging 6.7 points and 6.0 rebounds in 24.5 minutes per tilt during that stretch.

Lakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: Probable Friday
Vanderbilt (leg) is probable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Right leg soreness is unlikely to stop Vanderbilt from playing Friday. The forward has averaged 6.7 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 24.7 minutes per contest over his last six games, shooting 53.6 percent from the field.
