Luka Doncic Dominates En Route To Ninth Triple-Double Of Year
Luka Doncic needed just 30 minutes to collect a gaudy stat line of 31 points, 15 assists and 12 rebounds during Saturday’s win over the Golden State Warriors. Doncic wasn’t even needed much down the stretch, yet he managed to tie his season high in assists and log his first triple-double since Dec. 12. After posting a monster triple-double versus the Warriors earlier in the year, Doncic was back at it again with five made triples and a perfect 10-for-10 showing from the free-throw stripe Saturday. He will draw a more difficult matchup on the second leg of a back-to-back Sunday versus the Lakers, even as he has recorded double-doubles in each of his last two meetings against the team.

Luka Doncic Nets 31 Points In Lakers Win
Luka Doncic scored a game-high 31 points on 9-for-20 shooting in Tuesday's 94-85 win against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Scoring came hard for most players on the night, but Doncic made it back-to-back 30-point efforts for himself in the series, hitting 2-for-8 from downtown and 11-for-11 at the charity stripe. He nearly had a triple-double, finishing with 12 rebounds and nine assists. It seems the Timberwolves players will have nightmares of Doncic for the second consecutive year, as he has averaged 34.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 5.0 assists through the first two games of the series.

Luka Doncic Removed From Injury Report
Luka Doncic (quadriceps) does not appear on the injury report ahead of Saturday's Game 1 against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He did not play in the team's regular-season finale due to left quadriceps soreness. Last year, Doncic was outstanding in a series against the Timberwolves and is expected to deliver big performances again. The Slovenian superstar closed out the regular season in great form, averaging 31.8 points for April with 45.3 percent shooting from downtown.

Luka Doncic Iffy For Tuesday
Luka Doncic (groin) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's showdown against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has been added to the injury report with a right groin strain and may take some time off to rest as the Lakers begin another back-to-back on Tuesday night. LeBron James (groin) and Austin Reaves (ankle) are also on the report as questionable, so the Lakers' bench may have a big role to play against the Thunder.

Luka Doncic Unavailable Thursday Versus Bucks
Luka Doncic (ankle) will not play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. Tonight's game is the second half of a back-to-back set, and Doncic will sit out to manage his right ankle sprain. He finished with 31 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals across 32 minutes in a 120-108 victory over the Nuggets on Wednesday. With Austin Reaves (ankle) also sidelined, Shake Milton, Gabe Vincent, and Jordan Godwin will likely see an uptick in minutes and scoring opportunities than usual.
