Lakers' Adou Thiero: Ruled out for Friday
Thiero (knee) won't play Friday versus the Nets.
Thiero will miss his second straight game due to the knee issue, but he's a negligible part of the rotation anyway. His next chance to suit up will come Monday against the Wizards.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Iffy for Friday
Hachimura (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against the Nets.
Hachimura is in danger of missing a third consecutive game with what the team is deeming right calf injury management. He'll presumably test out the calf at some point before tipoff, at which time the Lakers will provide another update on his availability.

Lakers' Luka Doncic: Questionable for Friday
Doncic is questionable for Friday's game versus the Nets due to left hamstring soreness.
Doncic has been playing heavy minutes for the Lakers, so there's a chance he could get hit with a rest day going up against the 17-56 Nets. If Doncic is out, Austin Reaves and LeBron James would see a bump in usage, and there would be more minutes available for Luke Kennard and Kobe Bufkin.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Will return Friday
Ayton (back) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against Brooklyn.
Ayton wasn't able to suit up Wednesday due to back soreness, but he's able to avoid the injury report for Friday's matchup. The big man is averaging 10.7 points and 7.8 rebounds over 12 March appearances.

Lakers' Marcus Smart: Remaining out for Friday
Smart (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Nets.
Smart will miss a third straight game due to a bruised right ankle. Jake LaRavia has made two starts in Smart's place and should be the favorite to run with the first unit again Friday against Brooklyn.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Heading to G League
The Lakers assigned Knecht to the G League's South Bay Lakers on Thursday, Trevor Lane of LakersNation.com reports.
Knecht hasn't seen much run with the Lakers lately, so he'll get an opportunity to suit up for Thursday's clash against Sioux Falls. The club could also recall him in time to join LA for Friday's game against Brooklyn.

Lakers' Bronny James: Back in G League
The Lakers assigned James to the G League's South Bay Lakers on Thursday, Trevor Lane of LakersNation.com reports.
James will presumably be available to play in Thursday's G League matchup against Sioux Falls. The Lakers may also elect to bring him back in time to be with the team for Friday's matchup against Brooklyn.

Lakers' Kobe Bufkin: Assigned to G League
Bufkin was assigned to the G League's South Bay Lakers on Thursday, Trevor Lane of LakersNation.com reports.
Bufkin will report to the G League and figures to be available to get some work Thursday night against Sioux Falls. He could also be recalled in time to join the Lakers for Friday's matchup with the Nets.

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Sees 11 minutes in win
Kleber recorded two points (1-2 FG, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one assist across 11 minutes during Wednesday's 137-130 victory over Indiana.
With Deandre Ayton (back) sidelined Wednesday, Kleber was able to log his first appearance off the bench since March 8. Kleber had missed some time earlier this month due to a back strain, but he didn't play in a coach's decision in the Lakers' previous game Monday in Detroit before entering the rotation Wednesday.

Lakers' LeBron James: Sniffs triple-double again
James racked up 23 points (9-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 137-130 victory over the Pacers.
The Lakers got back to winning ways Wednesday, and while Luka Doncic led the team with a 40-point performance, James made his presence felt by ending just one rebound and one assist away from a triple-double. James has reached the 20-point plateau just twice over his last eight games, but he continues to deliver decent upside due to his contributions in other categories. Over that eight-game span, he's averaging 18.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.4 steals per contest.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Productive in spot start
Hayes produced 21 points (9-11 FG, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 137-130 victory over the Pacers.
Hayes moved into the starting lineup due to the absence of Deandre Ayton (back) and made the most of the opportunity with an efficient double-double and a loaded fantasy line. This was just the second time Hayes recorded multiple blocks and steals in the same game, and both have come in his last two appearances. Hayes is now on a run of four straight outings with multiple blocks and has scored in double digits in back-to-back games. Ayton remains the No. 1 option at center, but Hayes is proving he can deliver decent coverage when needed.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Scores 25 in win over Pacers
Reaves amassed 25 points (7-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 9-9 FT), one rebound, eight assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 137-130 win over Indiana.
Reaves scored at least 24 points for a third consecutive game, and while most of the attention goes to Luka Doncic and his impressive scoring streak, Reaves' contributions can't be overlooked. The star guard is averaging a loaded line of 21.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game in 14 appearances since the beginning of March. However, he's shooting just 32.6 percent from three in that span.

Lakers' Luka Doncic: Goes for 40 points, again
Doncic generated 43 points (15-30 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and one steal across 38 minutes of Wednesday's 137-130 win over the Pacers.
Doncic has hit the 40-point milestone in three of his last five games after drilling 50 percent of his field goal attempts Wednesday night. The star point guard has also scored at least 30 points in 11 consecutive contests, averaging 39.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 2.5 steals during that span.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Starting Wednesday
Hayes is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Pacers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Hayes will get a spot-start with Deandre Ayton (back) unavailable, and it'll be Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, LeBron James and Jake LaRavia joining Hayes in the first unit for Wednesday's game. Through eight starts this season, Hayes has posted averages of 11.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Ruled out Wednesday
Ayton (back) has been downgraded to out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Ryan Ward of SI.com reports.
Ayton was a late addition to the Lakers' injury report Wednesday morning due to back soreness. The issue will prevent the veteran big man from suiting up, which will likely allow Jaxson Hayes and Jarred Vanderbilt to step into larger roles. Ayton's next chance to play will come Friday against Brooklyn.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Questionable for Wednesday
Ayton (back) is questionable for Wednesday against Indiana.
Ayton was a very late addition to the injury report, though his injury is being described as soreness, which sounds minor. Given the opponent, the Lakers may be contemplating a maintenance day here. If Ayton is held out, Jaxson Hayes and Jarred Vanderbilt would likely be more involved for the Lakers.

Lakers' Adou Thiero: Out for Wednesday
Thiero (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Thiero is not usually in the rotation for the Lakers, so his absence won't have many fantasy implications. He's made only four appearances since playing double-digit minutes against the Spurs on Feb. 10.
... See More ... See Less -
Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Ruled out for Wednesday
Hachimura (calf) will not play Wednesday against the Pacers.
Hachimura was previously considered questionable, but he'll miss his second straight contest and can be considered day-to-day moving forward. With Marcus Smart (ankle) also out, there will be plenty of minutes available for guys like Jake LaRavia and Luke Kennard.
