Lakers' Alex Len: Enters rotation in win
Len supplied one rebound across three minutes during Saturday's 123-100 win over the Nuggets.
Len was back in the rotation, albeit for a short stint during garbage time. After playing 22 minutes in his first appearance for the Lakers, Len has since faded into obscurity. At this point, it appears he will only be used in emergencies or when an opponent requires the Lakers to deploy size in their rotation.

Lakers' Shake Milton: Limited role continues
Milton closed with one rebound over three minutes during Saturday's 123-100 win over the Nuggets.
Milton continues to be used sparingly off the bench for the Lakers, having played fewer than 10 minutes in four of the past five games. The arrival of Luka Doncic basically puts the proverbial nail in the coffin on Milton's potential opportunities. Barring injuries to other players, he will likely spend the remainder of the season on the fringes of the rotation.

Lakers' Luka Doncic: Dominates in victory
Doncic amassed 32 points (10-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, one block and four steals over 31 minutes during Saturday's 123-100 win over the Nuggets.
Doncic served up his best performance since arriving in Los Angeles, helping the Lakers to an impressive victory. After what has been a hectic couple of weeks for Doncic, he was able to set aside all of the media attention, silencing anyone who had questioned his productivity. The Lakers will host the Mavericks on Tuesday in what promises to be a mouth-watering affair given the recent history between the teams.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Returns to Saturday's game
Hachimura (back) checked back in at the 6:07 mark of the fourth quarter in Saturday's game against the Nuggets, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Hachimura briefly left early in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game after appearing to tweak his back. He was evaluated by trainers in the locker room, but the injury doesn't appear to be severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of the contest.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Exits game due to back injury
Hachimura went to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Saturday's game against the Nuggets due to a back injury, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Hachimura appeared to suffer the injury while guarding Aaron Gordon, and the former was seen clutching at the left side of his back while walking back to the locker room. Dorian Finney-Smith, Gabe Vincent and Jarred Vanderbilt would be in line to see increased playing time in the fourth quarter if Hachimura is unable to return.

Lakers' LeBron James: Good to go against Denver
James (foot) is available for Saturday's game against the Nuggets, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
James has been a regular on the Lakers' injury report while managing a left foot injury, but the issue is not severe enough for him to be sidelined Saturday. James has averaged 29.9 points on 54.3 percent shooting, 9.1 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 1.3 steals over 34.7 minutes per game since the beginning of February.

Lakers' Luka Doncic: Cleared to play Saturday
Doncic (calf) is available for Saturday's game against the Nuggets, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
Doncic was held out of Thursday's win against the Trail Blazers while managing a left calf strain that he suffered Christmas Day, but he's been given the green light to play Saturday. Doncic is averaging 14.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists over 26.7 minutes per game over his first three games with the Lakers.

Lakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: Good to go for Saturday
Vanderbilt (foot) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Nuggets.
Vanderbilt did not play in Thursday's win over the Trail Blazers due to right foot surgery management, but the 2018 second-round pick appears to have been given the green light to play in Saturday's contest. He's averaging 3.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 steals over 16.1 minutes per game across his 10 outings during the season.

Lakers' LeBron James: Probable for Saturday
James (foot) is probable for Saturday's game against Denver, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
The Lakers continue to manage James' playing time due to a left foot injury, but he is expected to play in Saturday's marquee matchup. The superstar was a game-time decision ahead of Thursday's win over Portland due to the left foot injury, though he still posted 40 points (14-24 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block across 36 minutes. In the unlikely event that James is sidelined, Dorian Finney-Smith and Dalton Knecht could see a bump in minutes.

Lakers' Luka Doncic: Probable against Denver
Doncic (injury management) has been listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Nuggets, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Doncic will likely play in Saturday's game against the Nuggets after sitting out Thursday's win on the road in Portland. The superstar is still getting back into game shape as he adjusts to his new team, but he should give the Lakers a big boost offensively Saturday in Denver.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Grabs 12 rebounds in victory
Hachimura contributed six points (3-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block over 35 minutes during Thursday's 110-102 victory over Portland.
With Luka Doncic (calf) on the sidelines, Hachimura drew the start, manning the off-guard spot, an atypical position for the 6-8 wingman. His usage in Thursday's victory further complicates speculation about the Lakers' first unit once Doncic and LeBron James are finally back on the court together. Since the team is thin up front, Hachimura's rebounding and scoring ability might be a necessary addition to the offensive formula, and that could curtail Austin Reaves' production.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Pours in 32 points
Reaves ended Thursday's 110-102 win over Portland with 32 points (9-21 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 12-13 FT), one rebound, seven assists, two blocks and two steals in 40 minutes.
With Luka Doncic (calf) sidelined, Reaves got the start at point guard, and he didn't disappoint. Reaves is projected to work alongside Doncic once he returns, so fantasy managers who depend on Reaves' production shouldn't be worried about his production. The decision to move Rui Hachimura into the off-guard role during Thursday's win might be a greater cause for concern, however.

Lakers' LeBron James: Explodes for 40 points
James contributed 40 points (14-24 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Thursday's 110-102 victory over the Trail Blazers.
James scored eight straight points in a late rally to put the game away for the Lakers, who won despite Luka Doncic's (calf) absence. It was James' second outing with at least 40 points this season, falling two short of his high-water mark. Although James' foot injury continues to be an issue, it's unlikely he'll accrue any absences if Doncic's services are unavailable.
