What happened

Luka Dončić scored 32 points and handed out 10 assists as the Lakers beat Atlanta 124-114, stretching their winning streak to six games.

Austin Reaves missed the game with illness, Quentin Grimes sat with a sprained right finger, and rookie Cameron Carr logged his first rotation minutes.

LINEUP CONTEXT

Los Angeles may need the same shorthanded guard rotation again if Reaves stays out, while Grimes' status could alter the bench mix.
