Luka Doncic is listed as probable with a right ankle sprain, while LeBron James is questionable due to a left groin strain. The Lakers also have Rui Hachimura (left patellar tendinopathy) and Gabe Vincent (left knee injury management) listed as questionable. Dorian Finney-Smith (left ankle injury management), Austin Reaves (right ankle sprain), and Jarred Vanderbilt (right groin strain) are probable. Maxi Kleber remains out as he recovers from right foot surgery.
Chicago will be without Lonzo Ball (left wrist sprain) and Ayo Dosunmu (left shoulder surgery). Kevin Huerter is probable with a right thumb sprain, while Tre Jones is questionable with a left midfoot sprain. The Bulls also have E.J.
