Lakers' Marcus Smart: Doubtful for Thursday
Smart is doubtful to play Thursday against the Bulls due to a right hip contusion, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Smart's minutes figure to be divvied up amongst Luke Kennard, Dalton Knecht and Kobe Bufkin. Check back for official confirmation on Smart's status closer to Thursday's tip.

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Deemed questionable
Kleber (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against Chicago, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Kleber has been tending to a lumbar back strain recently and has been unavailable in four of the Lakers' last five games. If he can't suit up Thursday, Jaxson Hayes would serve as the top backup to Deandre Ayton.

Lakers' LeBron James: Questionable for Thursday
James (hip/foot) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Bulls, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
James has missed the past three games for the Lakers, but there's a chance he'll be able to get back out there Thursday. If James is cleared, Rui Hachimura or Marcus Smart would head back to the second unit and Jake LaRavia's minutes would dip.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Likely to play Thursday
Hayes (back) is probable for Thursday's game against Chicago, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Hayes was downgraded to out shortly before tipoff Tuesday because of back soreness, but he's on track to return Thursday. Hayes is averaging 7.0 points and 4.0 rebounds across 17.7 minutes per game this season.

Lakers' Jake LaRavia: Settling into reserve role
LaRavia registered eight points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 120-106 win over Minnesota.
LaRavia has fallen out of a starting role since the All-Star break, limiting his fantasy appeal overall. The fourth-year forward has averaged 6.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 19.0 minutes per contest in his last 11 games (no starts), shooting just 40.7 percent from the floor.

Lakers' Marcus Smart: Piling up steals
Smart chipped in eight points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 120-106 victory over the Timberwolves.
Smart appears to be locked into a starting role and remains a solid fantasy streamer for steals. The veteran guard has averaged 8.7 points, 3.3 assists, 2.5 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 29.4 minutes per tilt in his last six games, shooting 40.0 percent from deep.

Lakers' Luke Kennard: Logs 10 points in victory
Kennard finished with 10 points (5-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one block across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 120-106 win over the Timberwolves.
Kennard's acquisition has paid dividends as he continues to log meaningful minutes with his new team. Although he'll need a major injury to be fantasy relevant, he'll provide solid support during the playoff push.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Bounces back with double-double
Ayton ended with 14 points (7-11 FG, 0-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 120-106 win over the Timberwolves.
Ayton has suffered through some poor totals recently, but he returned to form against one of the most imposing frontcourt duos in the league during the convincing win. With Jaxson Hayes (back) out of commission, Ayton logged 34 minutes and played great defense under the basket, limiting the duo of Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert to just 17 points.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Rolls with big second half in win
Reaves posted 31 points (10-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds and eight assists in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 120-106 win over the Timberwolves.
The game didn't start well for Reaves, but he played like a man possessed in the second half, scoring 29 of his 31 points after the intermission. While he had an accurate night on the floor, some of his most dynamic plays came as a ballhandler, which included a great no-look behind-the-back dish in the paint to Deandre Ayton. Reaves' contribution helped to assuage LeBron James' (hip) continued absence.

Lakers' Luka Doncic: Rolls to triple-double
Doncic produced 31 points (11-24 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, 11 assists, two steals and one block in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 120-106 victory over Minnesota.
Doncic teamed up with Austin Reaves for a combined 62 points on a night the Lakers were without LeBron James (hip/foot). Doncic converted on just 33.3 percent of his triples, but his overall volume on the offensive end helped him to a third straight game of 30-plus points. The 27-year-old was also able to secure his first double-double since Jan. 30 with the help of an impressive all-around performance, which comes after he struggled in the assist column in his previous two outings.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Out with back soreness
Hayes won't play Tuesday against the Timberwolves due to back soreness.
Hayes was a late addition to the injury report, so it appears the back issue flared up at some point during pre-game warmups. Maxi Kleber (back) is also out, so Drew Timme will be the favorite to get run as the backup center Tuesday evening.

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Won't play Tuesday
Kleber (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Trevor Lane of LakersNation.com reports.
Kleber was an extremely late addition to the injury report and won't suit up Tuesday due to a back strain. His next opportunity to play will come Thursday against Chicago. With the big man sidelined, Jarred Vanderbilt could see a bump in minutes.

Lakers' LeBron James: Downgraded to out
James (hip/foot) won't play Tuesday against the Timberwolves, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
James will miss a third straight matchup while dealing with a right hip contusion and arthritis in his left foot. With the superstar forward sidelined, look for Rui Hachimura, Jake LaRavia and Jarred Vanderbilt to see more chances Tuesday.

Lakers' Adou Thiero: Summoned from G League
The Lakers recalled Thiero from the G League South Bay Lakers on Tuesday, Ryan Ward of SI.com reports.
Thiero will give the Lakers some depth at forward for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, though the rookie second-rounder is unlikely to see action outside of garbage time.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Recalled from G League
The Lakers recalled Knecht from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Tuesday, Ryan Ward of SI.com reports.
Knecht is now available off the bench for the Lakers' game against the Timberwolves. He hasn't seen double-digit minutes since the Feb. 10 loss to the Spurs, and Knecht may not see the court at all versus Minnesota.

Lakers' Bronny James: Recalled to NBA
The Lakers recalled James from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Tuesday, Ryan Ward of SI.com reports.
James joined South Bay for Tuesday's practice but will head back to the parent club ahead of its game against Minnesota on Tuesday. The second-year guard has totaled 11 minutes over two appearances since the All-Star break, so he isn't guaranteed to see the floor against the Timberwolves on Tuesday.

Lakers' LeBron James: Questionable for Tuesday
James (hip/foot) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.
James suffered a left elbow injury down the stretch of Thursday's matchup with the Nuggets, and he's missed two games since. However, he's now listed as questionable due to a right hip contusion and arthritis in his left foot. The team will likely re-evaluate the star forward Tuesday morning and monitor him throughout the day before providing another update on his availability.

Lakers' LeBron James: Sits out practice Monday
Head coach JJ Redick said James (elbow/foot) didn't practice Monday but is still considered day-to-day, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
James is dealing with a left elbow contusion in addition to lingering arthritis in his left foot, putting him at risk of missing a third straight game when the Lakers face Minnesota on Tuesday. The team will release its official injury report later Monday, and for now, the superstar forward should be considered questionable for Tuesday's contest.
