The Los Angeles Lakers continue to lack some of their star power due to injuries.
That's still true on Saturday night in Atlanta against the Hawks.
LeBron James is out, as he has been all season.
And Austin Reaves remains on the sideline, too.
It's going to be the Luka Doncic show yet again.

Why isn't Austin Reaves playing tonight?
Austin Reaves remains out with injury.
It's the third consecutive game that Reaves will miss.
He's dealing with a groin issue.
Reaves is averaging 31.1 points and 9.3 assists per game this season. Some of that came when both James and Doncic were sidelined.
The Lakers have to be encouraged by the continued growth of Reaves, who has proven he belongs in the discussion of the NBA's best guards.
But for now, L.A. will have to figure out how to win another basketball game without Reaves on the floor.
