Available to play Doncic (groin) is good to go for Tuesday's game versus the Hawks, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Doncic will push through the groin issue, but he may have his minutes monitored on the second leg of a back-to-back. Still, any time Doncic is active, he's a must-start option in fantasy leagues.

Impact Doncic has officially been diagnosed with left groin soreness, and it appears as though he's day-to-day.

Uncertain to play Tuesday Doncic said after Monday's 124-112 loss to the Kings that he had his inner thigh/groin area treated in the second half of the contest and is unsure if he'll be able to play through...

Impact Despite being slowed by the injury during Monday's contest, Doncic still saw a normal allotment of playing time (37 minutes) and came through with a stellar line, finishing the night with 42 points (16-25 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight assists, seven rebounds and four steals. While the thigh issue doesn't look to be anything significant, Doncic could still be a candidate to get a maintenance day in the second leg of a back-to-back set. If Doncic is held out Tuesday, the Lakers could redirect most of his minutes to Rui Hachimura, who was active for Monday's contest but was seemingly available only in an emergency after missing the Lakers' previous six contests due to a calf injury.

Erupts for 42 points in defeat Doncic provided 42 points (16-25 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight assists, seven rebounds and four steals across 37 minutes in Monday's 124-112 loss to the Kings.

Impact Doncic stuffed the stat sheet while leading all players in scoring, albeit in a losing effort. The superstar point guard reached the 40-point threshold for the seventh time in 30 regular-season appearances and for the first time since Dec. 18. He also recorded a game-high-tying eight assists and has now dished out at least eight dimes in seven consecutive contests. Additionally, he tallied a game-best four steals, tallying multiple swipes for a fourth straight game. While Doncic's struggles from beyond the arc continued Monday, he has still scored at least 30 points in five of his six games to open January.
