Los Angeles Lakers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (knee) will not play in Wednesday's contest against the Utah Jazz. He will exit the lineup after making five consecutive appearances. Vincent has averaged 11.8 points and 3.0 assists in 23.0 minutes this month, but his role will surely change now that Luka Doncic has come to town. The Lakers head to the All-Star break following Wednesday's action, meaning Vincent's first chance to return to the lineup will come on Feb. 19 against the Charlotte Hornets. Jordan Goodwin and Shake Milton may receive more work with Vincent out on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (elbow) is good to go for Wednesday's tilt against the Utah Jazz. He has been upgraded from probable to available, paving the way for Reaves to make his 28th consecutive appearance. The 26-year-old has had a huge month, averaging 27.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 2.0 steals in 33.4 minutes. Luka Doncic's addition to the backcourt is bound to have an impact on Reaves, but Doncic will continue to play with a minutes restriction on Wednesday. Reaves remained a big part of the offense on Monday when Doncic made his Lakers debut against the Jazz, posting 22 points with nine rebounds and four assists.

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Luka Doncic (calf) will be available against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. The Lakers initially listed Doncic as questionable for the contest, but he was upgraded to probable earlier in the day. Now, Lakers head coach JJ Redick has confirmed that the Slovenian superstar will make his second appearance as a Laker. Doncic's debut for his new team also came against the Jazz, as he posted 14 points, five rebounds, and four assists in 24 minutes during Monday's 132-113 win. He operated under a minutes restriction, and Redick told reporters that the restriction would remain in place for Wednesday's contest.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will be in the lineup on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. He has received his traditional upgrade from probable to available. James will square off against the Jazz for the second time in three nights. In Luka Doncic's debut as a Laker on Monday, James finished with 24 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists in 29 minutes. The Lakers' new star duo is set to share the offensive load again on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (elbow) is listed as probable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Reaves has been dealing with an elbow contusion for a few games, but he has looked fine during those contests. That being said, Reaves should continue to play through the issue during Wednesday's game. He'll likely be asked to take on a bigger role on offense, assuming Luka Doncic (calf) is unable to play. Reaves dropped a 44-point game last week and has finished with 20 points or more in each of his last five games. Reaves is looking like a must-start in all fantasy formats right now.
