The Los Angeles Lakers will be without Luka Doncic for some time as he deals with a mild left hamstring strain. He’s officially listed as day-to-day.

This wasn’t much of a problem for LA as they faced a Golden State Warriors team without stars Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler. The Lakers used a 38-point third quarter to gain enough momentum to hold off the Warriors in a 105-99 victory.

LeBron James led the way for LA with 20 points, seven rebounds, and 10 assists. He shot 6-17 from the field. Austin Reaves added 16 points and eight assists.

The Lakers are hoping Doncic doesn’t miss too much time as they don’t want to wear down 41-year-old LeBron, before the postseason begins.
