LeBron James - Tepid result in loss James totaled 15 points (7-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and five assists over 35 minutes during Thursday's 113-110 loss to the Suns.

Impact James shot below 50 percent from the floor in the loss and missed all three of his three-point attempts in the narrow defeat. James has scored 15 points or less in two of the four games following the All-Star break, but his secondary numbers have salvaged the below-average scoring totals.

Deandre Ayton - Ineffective in narrow loss Ayton recorded two points (1-3 FG), four rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes during Thursday's 113-110 loss to the Suns.

Impact Ayton finished with his lowest point total of the season during the loss, and also suffered through one of his lowest rebound totals of the season. Jaxson Hayes proved to be the better option under the basket against the Suns, and he could be in line for more time now that his ankle injury has healed. Although most of the Lakers' first unit is set, the center position will remain a point of concern.

Austin Reaves - Misses game-tying shot at buzzer Reaves recorded 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Thursday's 113-110 loss to the Suns.

Impact Reaves had the opportunity to answer Royce O'Neale's late three-pointer, but his final shot rattled off the rim. Although four of the Lakers' five starters scored in double digits, Luka Doncic was the only player to score more than 15 points in the surprising loss. Next to Doncic, Reaves looked like the most effective player on the floor during the loss as he took advantage of absences from Dillon Brooks (hand) and Devin Booker (hip)

Luka Doncic - Racks up 41 points in loss Doncic recorded 41 points (12-21 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 11-12 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Thursday's 113-110 loss to the Suns.

Impact Doncic did all he could to propel LA to a victory, but it wasn't quite enough to get the job done. This was an efficient scoring performance from the 26-year-old, who needed only 21 attempts from the field to reach the 40-point threshold. Doncic is averaging 31.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 9.3 assists and 1.3 steals over his last four showings.
