Doncic Back in Action
The Los Angeles Lakers welcome Luka Doncic back to the court Monday in Atlanta after he missed time with lower back tightness. Doncic has piled up 361 points through nine games, the third-most in that span in NBA history, while leading the league at 40.1 points per game. He has reached 40 points in each of his last four outings.
Key Absences for Los Angeles
Austin Reaves will sit out with an illness after posting a season-high 43 points in Sunday's 121-116 victory over the Detroit Pistons. Quentin Grimes is also unavailable because of a sprained finger on his right hand. Coach JJ Redick indicated rookie Cameron Carr will see early rotation minutes with both players sidelined.
Streaks on the Line
The Lakers enter the contest on a five-game winning streak. The Hawks have also been rolling, securing four straight victories heading into Monday's game.
