The Los Angeles Lakers are heading into Thursday night's game against the Miami Heat with a seven-game winning streak, but their chances of extending it could be affected as three key players, Luka Doncic, LeBron James, and Austin Reaves, are listed as questionable for the game.
Luka Doncic is dealing with right hip soreness and could miss his first game since February 12. If he is unable to play, Marcus Smart and Luke Kennard may take on bigger roles.
LeBron James is also listed as questionable due to left foot arthritis, which has not kept him out of a game since March 10. If he does not play, Rui Hachimura and Jake LaRavia could see increased minutes.
Austin Reaves rounds out the trio of questionable Lakers, as he is dealing with a right forearm contusion. Thursday would mark his first missed game since February 10 if he is unable to suit up.
The Lakers have been one of the hottest teams in the league recently, but losing three key contributors on the same night would be a major blow to their chances of picking up a win on the road in Miami.
