Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Struggles with shot
Knecht logged six points (3-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes during Sunday's 107-98 victory over Portland.
With LeBron James (foot) missing his first game of the season, Knecht will be disappointed that he couldn't take advantage of the extra usage. Knecht has lost a lot of steam to open December, averaging 6.8 points on 35.7 percent shooting over his last five outings.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Shines vs. Portland
Davis produced 30 points (10-21 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, five blocks and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 107-98 win over Portland.
Even though role players such as D'Angelo Russell and Rui Hachimura stepped up in this win, Davis carried the Lakers in the absence of LeBron James (foot). This was Davis' eighth double-double across his last nine games, and the five blocks also represented a season-high mark for the star big man. Davis averaged 21.6 points, 11.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.1 blocks per game in that nine-game stretch.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Excellent in win Sunday
Hachimura chipped in 23 points (9-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals across 39 minutes during Sunday's 107-98 win over the Trail Blazers.
Hachimura posted season-high marks in points and steals. Firmly entrenched in a starting role this season, Hachimura is trending in the right direction after scoring in double digits in his last five outings. He's averaged 14.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.8 assists per game in that span.

Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Explodes for season-high 28 points
Russell produced 28 points (9-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, 14 assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Sunday's 107-98 win over the Trail Blazers.
Russell stepped up in the absence of LeBron James (foot) and Austin Reaves (pelvis), setting new top marks on the season in points and assists. He's put together a few strong performances to kick off December while his team works to get healthy, reaching the 20-point threshold in two of four games, but his production has been shaky at times over the last month.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Gets green light Sunday
Davis (foot) isn't listed on the team's injury report for Sunday's game against Portland, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
Davis has been a mainstay on the injury report this season due to left foot plantar fasciitis, though he hasn't missed a game since Nov. 6. With LeBron James (foot) sidelined, Davis will serve as the clear top option for the Lakers. Over his last five outings, the big man has averaged 21.2 points, 10.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.0 steals across 36.6 minutes per game.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Officially out
Reaves (pelvis) won't play Sunday against the Trail Blazers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
Reaves was listed as doubtful on the team's injury report leading up to tipoff, so his absence was somewhat expected. Look for D'Angelo Russell and Gabe Vincent to pick up extra minutes in the backcourt with Reaves out of commission.

Lakers' LeBron James: Sitting out Sunday
James (foot) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
James will miss his first game of the season after he was initially deemed probable for the contest due to left foot soreness. With the superstar sidelined, Cam Reddish and Armel Traore are both likely to receive an uptick in playing time.

Lakers' LeBron James: Downgraded to doubtful Sunday
James (foot) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
James has been downgraded from probable to doubtful due to left foot soreness. The superstar is now in jeopardy of missing his first game this season, and in the likely event that he's ruled out, Cam Reddish and Armel Traore are candidates for an increased role.

Even though he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers after moving past a recent heel injury, James isn't expected to be featured in the rotation.

Lakers' Maxwell Lewis: Recalled after G League game
Lewis was recalled from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Saturday.
Lewis was assigned to the G League on Saturday morning and played 41 minutes during South Bay's 119-111 win over the San Diego Clippers. He posted a game-high 26 points (10-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal before being recalled to the NBA club after the game.

Hood-Schifino (hamstring) is not on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Hood-Schifino missed the last three games due to a sore left groin and a left hamstring injury, but it appears he is poised to suit up Sunday. His last NBA appearance was Dec. 1 against the Jazz, when he posted four points, one rebound, one assist and one block over 13 minutes off the bench.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Probable for Sunday
Davis is probable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to left plantar fasciitis, Dan Woike reports.
Davis has been a mainstay on the Lakers' injury report pretty much all season long, but the big man hasn't missed a game since Nov. 6. Thus, he should handle his regular workload Sunday. He came close to posting a triple-double in the loss to the Hawks on Friday, registering 38 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. The star big man is averaging 22.9 points, 11.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.2 assists per game over his last 10 appearances.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Unlikely to play vs. Portland
Reaves (pelvis) is doubtful to play Sunday against the Trail Blazers, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Reaves will likely be sidelined for a fifth straight game due to a bruised left pelvis. The Lakers have an extended break following Sunday's game, so Reaves could be available against the Timberwolves on Friday, Dec. 13.

Lakers' LeBron James: Questionable to play Sunday
James (foot) is questionable to play Sunday against Portland, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
James has been playing through left foot soreness as of late, though he has yet to miss a game this season. He's coming off a triple-double performance in an overtime loss to the Hawks on Friday, but in the seven games prior he was shooting just 11.8 percent from three on 4.9 3PA/G. Rui Hachimura, Cam Reddish and Max Christie would see increased playing time if James were to be sidelined Sunday.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Productive at both ends Friday
Hachimura posted 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 41 minutes during Friday's 134-132 overtime loss to Atlanta.
It was the first time this season Hachimura produced multiple steals and blocks in the same game, and the 26-year-old forward fell one board shy of his second double-double. Hachimura has been a useful complementary player for the Lakers since his late November return from an ankle injury, averaging 11.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.3 threes, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks over eight starts while shooting 60.0 percent from the floor.
