Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves are finished for the rest of the regular season due to injuries, and the Los Angeles Lakers could finish anywhere from third to fifth in the Western Conference playoff race. For now, the Lakers will lean on LeBron James as their primary scorer and floor leader. Coach JJ Redick agrees he has to be mindful that the 41-year-old is wrapping up his record 23rd NBA season. Doncic has a hamstring strain and Reaves is out with an oblique issue. Marcus Smart also is sidelined by an ankle injury. Their status for the playoffs is up in the air with five games remaining in the regular season.
