Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Minimal impact in loss
Kleber notched five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 10 minutes during Monday's 125-108 loss to the Suns.
While Kleber set his season high in scoring Monday, it felt like the entire Lakers team was sluggish as they got routed by Phoenix at home. Kleber has not been a big contributor off the bench at all, averaging just 2.0 points and 1.9 rebounds across 11.7 minutes this season.

Lakers' LeBron James: Delivers dud
James accumulated 10 points (3-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and three assists over 31 minutes during Monday's 125-108 loss to the Suns.
The Lakers were a perfect 4-0 with James in the lineup before Monday night, but the 23-year veteran mustered just 10 points and three assists for the entire game in a losing effort. Across five games, James has scored more than 20 points only once. While the trend of lower scoring totals for the Lakers star may continue, low rebounding and assist totals are likely still an anomaly.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Cools off slightly
Reaves chipped in 16 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 33 minutes during Monday's 125-108 loss to the Suns.
Reaves finished with his second-lowest scoring total of the year, ending a streak of three consecutive games with 30 or more points. His rebound and assist totals were also below his season averages, as the Lakers were lackluster overall on the second night of a back-to-back. He'll have a few days of rest before the team's next game Thursday in Toronto.

Lakers' Luka Doncic: Extends 30-point streak
Doncic closed Monday's 125-108 loss to Phoenix with 38 points (15-26 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists across 32 minutes.
Doncic has scored 30 or more points in seven consecutive games now, as his league-best scoring average has increased to 35.3 points per game. He collected 11 rebounds and five assists in 32 minutes of play in the team's second game in as many nights. On the defensive end, it was only Doncic's third outing this season without registering a steal or block.

Lakers' Gabe Vincent: Not starting Monday
Vincent won't start Monday against the Suns, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
With LeBron James (foot) back in action, Vincent will retreat to the second unit. Over four outings off the bench this season, the 29-year-old guard has averaged 3.8 points while shooting 55.6 percent from the field in 19.3 minutes per contest.

Lakers' Marcus Smart: Another absence coming
Smart (back) will not play Monday against the Suns, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
Smart will be held out for a third consecutive game Monday but is being considered day-to-day by the team, per Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com. His next chance to play comes Thursday against the Raptors. Gabe Vincent, Jaka LaRavia and Dalton Knecht could be a bit more involved in the meantime.

Lakers' LeBron James: Good to go Monday
James (foot) is available for Monday's game against Phoenix, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
After missing Sunday's win over the Pelicans, which was the front end of a back-to-back set, James is no longer appearing on the injury report. With the veteran being well rested, it's unlikely he will face restrictions against the Suns.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Omitted from injury report
Ayton (knee) is off the injury report for Monday's game against the Suns, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
After leaving Sunday's win over the Pelicans due to right knee soreness, Ayton is good to go Monday and shouldn't have any restrictions. The star big man has averaged 16.0 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 29.5 minutes per tilt across 17 games this season.

Lakers' Jake LaRavia: Puts up 10 points off bench
LaRavia chipped in 10 points (4-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one block over 26 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 victory over the Pelicans.
LaRavia has shown the ability to produce in an increased role, but he definitely needs to work on his efficiency. In his last six games (one start), he averages 6.5 points on just 35.7 percent from the field and 27.8 percent from three. With LeBron James (foot) and Marcus Smart (back) potentially slated to return Monday against Phoenix, LaRavia will likely revert to playing around 14-20 minutes per game.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Plays 17 minutes in win
Knecht had four points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block across 17 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 win over the Pelicans.
Knecht has effectively been phased out of the Lakers' regular rotation. Even with LeBron James (foot) and Marcus Smart (back) ruled out for Sunday's game, Knecht played only 17 minutes. With a fully healthy squad, Knecht will likely not see the court. Prior to Sunday night, Knecht logged just a total of five minutes (and two DNPs) in his last four games.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Posts 14 points in victory
Hachimura notched 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt) and two rebounds across 34 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 victory over the Pelicans.
Gabe Vincent slipped into the lineup but was ineffective as LeBron James' (foot) replacement. Hachimura's production has been helpful during James' absences, and although he's averaging an eight-point drop in production over last season, Hachimura's rebounding average (8.3 per game) is at a five-year high. His acumen off the glass is a great aid for those needing rebounds in category leagues.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Steps in after Ayton injury
Hayes had eight points (4-4 FG, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 21 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 victory over the Pelicans.
Deandre Ayton (knee) was well on his way to an outstanding stat line before a knee injury forced him out, and Hayes continued the assault on New Orleans' withering interior in Ayton's place. Hayes' numbers off the bench have been nothing special, but Ayton's heavy load and superb play are the cause of the low numbers. Ayton's injury appears to be minor, but a start could be in store for Hayes if Ayton is sidelined.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Hits for 33 points in win
Reaves registered 33 points (9-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 11-12 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal in 40 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 win over New Orleans.
Reaves and Luka Doncic scored 67 of the team's 133 points in the win, extending the recent homestand to 3-0. Reaves has been on fire over the three-game home stint, averaging 34.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.3 steals. He also shot an eye-popping 69.6 percent from the floor over the span.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Exits early Sunday
Ayton exited Sunday's game against the Pelicans and did not return due to right knee soreness, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Ayton appeared to be favoring his right knee, which is the same knee he has been experiencing discomfort in over the last week, before taking himself out of the game. The Lakers were sporting a comfortable lead, so it remains unclear if Ayton would have been able to return to the game had it been competitive. If he is forced to miss time, Jaxson Hayes figures to see an expanded role.

Lakers' Luka Doncic: Another impressive performance
Doncic recorded 34 points (9-22 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 12-14 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists, one steal and a block in 35 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 win over the Pelicans.
Doncic got off to a blazing start Sunday, logging 20 points, six rebounds, four assists, one steal and a block in the first quarter alone. Although his production slowed dramatically, he was still about to produce an impressive line and a near triple-double. Doncic has now logged double-doubles in five straight games, two of those being point-rebound double-doubles.

Lakers' Gabe Vincent: Enters starting lineup
Vincent will start Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Vincent gets the start due to LeBron James (foot) being out of the lineup. In three starts this season, Vincent holds averages of 3.7 points, 2.3 assists, 1.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 24.0 minutes per contest.
