Will Luka Doncic Play Tonight?

Luka Doncic is listed as questionable for tonight’s game due to a right knee contusion. His final status will likely be determined closer to tip-off, depending on how his knee responds during pre-game warm-ups.

The absence of Doncic and Austin Reaves impacts the Lakers’ backcourt depth by limiting their options. While, the Pelicans fade their own problems with the season-ending injuries to Herbert Jones and Dejounte Murray, which have thinned their defensive options and backcourt rotation.
