Luka Doncic

With Luka Doncic (personal) away from the team and LeBron James struggling with his shot, the Lakers once again looked to Reaves to lead the way offensively. As has been the case many times this season, he answered the call in Toronto. Having scored at least 30 points in four of his last five appearances, Reaves surpassed 40 for the third time this season. He continues to provide first-round fantasy value and has shown no signs of slowing down. For that reason, the "sell-high" window for Reaves should be closed, if it wasn't already.

The Lakers won't have Luka Doncic for Thursday's game, as he is away from the team for personal reasons. Vincent slides into the starting lineup, and while he offers limited streaming value, he's worth a look for Thursday's five-game slate. Doncic's absence will also mean increased usage for LeBron, who struggled to keep his double-digit points streak alive in Monday's loss to the Suns.

Doncic is away from the Lakers for personal reasons, and Thursday's game is the first of three that they'll play on their upcoming road trip. What his absence means for games against Boston and Philadelphia is unknown, but it leaves a massive hole in the Lakers' lineup. LeBron James and Austin Reaves will see their usage rates increase, which is especially important for the former, given his production in Monday's loss to the Suns. As for the spot in the starting lineup, Gabe Vincent is the most likely replacement.

Doncic won't play in Thursday's game against the Raptors for personal reasons, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

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.
