The shooting guard shared how the Lakers have found a way to be successful without their best player in the lineup.

Anthony Davis finished with 36 points and 15 rebounds and Austin Reaves had 26 points and 16 assists with LeBron James out because of illness in a 132-122 win.

Certain players throughout the NBA just have an ability to understand the stage and moment and really step their game up in those times. For the Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas Day, the two players who understood that assignment were LeBron James and Austin Reaves.

Steph Curry rivalry was an instant classic. Curry scored 38 points, including a game-tying 3, but Austin Reaves' last-second layup gave the Lakers a 115-113 win. LeBron James led LA with 31 points.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves shared insights into the mindset that helped him achieve a career-high in assists during games where the team was without its stars, LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Los Angeles Lakers All-Star forward LeBron James was listed as probable before Friday's game and is officially available to play against the Atlanta Hawks, reports Jovan Buha of The Athletic. James is dealing with a left foot injury that has plagued him for the last few weeks.
