Kobe Bufkin - Part of rotation Thursday Bufkin contributed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one steal and one block across 17 minutes Thursday in the Lakers' 135-117 loss to the Hornets.

Impact After being recalled from the G League's South Bay Lakers ahead of Thursday's contest, Bufkin was somewhat surprisingly included in head coach JJ Redick's rotation after his lone other appearance for Los Angeles came in garbage time of a blowout win over the Hawks on Tuesday. Bufkin was largely deferential on offensive with a minuscule 7.6 percent usage rate, but he made an impact on the other end of the court with a pair of defensive counters. While the 22-year-old might have done enough to remain part of the second unit Saturday in Portland, he's signed to a 10-day deal with the Lakers and won't necessarily be in line for a long-term stay in the rotation.

Jarred Vanderbilt - Logs 15 minutes in loss Vanderbilt recorded six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and five rebounds across 15 minutes during Thursday's 135-117 loss to the Hornets.

Impact With Rui Hachimura back in the mix, Vanderbilt's path to playing time is obstructed. At least for the time being, Vanderbilt is really going to struggle to keep his fantasy value afloat due to a minor role in the frontcourt.

Jake LaRavia - Scores 18 points in loss LaRavia supplied 18 points (5-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Thursday's 135-117 loss to Charlotte.

Impact LaRavia continues to be a major bright spot for the Lakers in recent weeks. Over his last 10 outings, he's producing top-50 value in nine-category formats with averages of 13.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.1 three-pointers on 49.5 percent shooting from the field.

Luka Doncic - Pours in 39 points Doncic ended with 39 points (15-26 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 3-7 FT), three rebounds and four assists over 36 minutes during Thursday's 135-117 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Doncic did have an injury scare when he went back to the locker room holding his back, though he returned for the final stretch and seemed to be fine. For now, it doesn't appear that he's in jeopardy of missing Saturday's game versus Portland where the Lakers will be looking to end their cold spell -- they have lost four of their last five games.

Luka Doncic - Returns for fourth quarter Doncic (back) returned during the fourth quarter of Thursday's game against the Hornets, per the television broadcast.

Impact Doncic made a quick stop in the locker room right before the conclusion of the third quarter and appeared to be grabbing at his lower back on his way to the tunnel. However, he quickly gained clearance to return, beginning the final period on the bench before checking in with 9:06 remaining.
