What happened
Los Angeles travels to Atlanta on Monday with a five-game win streak, while the Hawks bring a four-game run into their first meeting this season.
The Lakers may again be without Luka Dončić after Sunday back tightness, and Quentin Grimes is also being monitored after a finger issue against Detroit.
LINEUP CONTEXT
If Dončić sits, Los Angeles’ ballhandling and shot creation would likely shift again, while Atlanta’s listed absences and Landale’s questionable tag affect depth.
