The Lakers host the Hawks on Monday with Luka Dončić back after missing Sunday’s win, while guard Austin Reaves is listed as questionable due to an illness. Reaves, who dropped 43 points in Dončić’s absence, may be limited, and Quentin Grimes also misses the game with a right‑finger sprain. That leaves Dončić likely to carry the scoring load, continuing his historic pace of over 40 points per game and a chance to hit another 50‑point night—a feat matched only by Michael Jordan’s 300‑point eight‑game stretch. The injury report sets up a potential Dončić showcase against Atlanta.
