Impact Reaves will miss the second game of a back-to-back for the Lakers while nursing a sprained right ankle. Los Angeles will be very shorthanded Thursday against the Bucks, with Luka Doncic (ankle) also ruled out and Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Jarred Vanderbilt (groin) currently listed as doubtful. The team will likely lean on Jordan Goodwin, Shake Milton, Dalton Knecht and Bronny James to shoulder the load.

Posts solid line in blowout Reaves provided 22 points (8-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 120-108 victory over Denver.

Impact Revas continued to step up in a big way amid LeBron James' (groin) absence, and he's a big reason why the team has gone 3-3 since losing the All-Star. Reaves is averaging 27.0 points, 7.7 assists, 6.7 rebounds and 1.7 steals over the last six games without James, and the proficient Oklahoma product shows no signs of slowing down.
