Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki predicted that Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic will lead the league in scoring this year.

A finger sprain and leg contusion may have been able to sideline Luka Doncic for three games, but they couldn't prevent him from going off on Friday.

Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves will both be held out of the lineup against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday after playing nearly 40 minutes apiece in Sunday's win.

As such, BIG 3 Founder Ice Cube says he must take total control of the team's destiny and bring the franchise back to glory. However, to do that, the "Straight Outta Compton" rapper says the Lakers need to give him a co-star.

Austin Reaves led the Los Angeles Lakers with 28 points and 16 assists in a 116-115 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Reaves hit a game-winning buzzer-beater; LeBron and Doncic lauded him online. Reaves previously scored 51 and 41 points in recent games, fueling the Lakers' momentum.

Right groin soreness will keep Reaves, who is averaging 31.1 points and 9.3 assists, out of the lineup for a second consecutive game.

Luka Doncic missed his third straight game on Wednesday, but when will he return to game action for the Lakers?

The LA Lakers continue to face an uphill battle with injuries, as Austin Reaves is the latest player to have a significant setback.
