LeBron James - Records double-double in victory James racked up 13 points (5-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Friday's 125-122 win over the Clippers.

Impact James excelled in his role as a facilitator on offense, recording his fifth consecutive double-digit assist total during the victory. With the lineup back to full health, James should serve as the third scoring option while delivering the ball often to his supporting cast. He'll also show up with high-scoring totals on occasion as the team makes its playoff push.

Austin Reaves - Hits for 29 points with first unit Reaves ended with 29 points (9-15 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 125-122 win over the Clippers.

Impact Reaves was a welcome addition to the starting lineup after a minute restriction relegated him to backup duties for five games before the All-Star break. Revaes showed no ill effects from the calf injury that limited him, joining Doncic to contribute 67 of the team's 125 points. Reaves was averaging a stellar 26.6 points, 6.3 assists, and 5.2 rebounds before his extended absence, and the Lakers hope his return to health will yield similar results.

Luka Doncic - Logs 38/6/11 double-double Doncic posted 38 points (11-25 FG, 8-14 3Pt, 8-11 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists, one block and three steals in 38 minutes during Friday's 125-122 victory over the Clippers.

Impact Doncic got the rest he needed over the All-Star break and returned to the starting lineup after missing four games leading into last weekend's festivities. Doncic's 38 points marked his highest point total since beating down the Bulls for 46 points in late January. The Lakers now have a clean injury report and are working with the intended starting lineup, which should play in Doncic's favor as the team makes its playoff push.

Jake LaRavia - Coming off bench Friday LaRavia is not in the Lakers' starting lineup against the Clippers on Friday, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Luka Doncic (hamstring) back in the lineup and the Lakers at full strength, LaRavia will slide back to the bench for the first time in 24 games. During that stretch, he averaged 10.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.5 steal, providing consistent production for a Lakers team that has been dealing with multiple injuries.

Impact Reaves has played in five of the Lakers' last six outings following a 19-game absence due to a strained right calf, and he'll finally be inserted back into the starting five Friday. It's unclear whether the 27-year-old guard will remain on a minutes restriction, though he has logged at least 28 in each of his last two outings.
