The Los Angeles Lakers will likely be without star guards Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves for their first-round NBA playoff series against the Houston Rockets. Dončić is returning to the U.S. from Spain, where he received treatment for a Grade 2 hamstring strain, and will be reevaluated by team doctors. The Lakers aim to rely on LeBron James, who averaged 22 points against the Rockets in the regular season, as they prepare for Game 1 on Saturday.
