Los Angeles Lakers superstar guard Luka Doncic is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to left calf injury management.

Doncic has played in the Lakers' last four games, but he missed nearly two months early this season with a calf injury. So, it's possible the Lakers decide to sit him out of this game if he's not feeling 100 percent.

Oddsmakers have set the Lakers as a 3.5-point underdog at home as they look to extend their five-game winning streak on Sunday. The Lakers picked up a four-point win at home against the Clippers on Friday night.

In that matchup, Doncic played over 35 minutes and finished with 31 points on 9-of-22 shooting, two rebounds, five assists and three steals. If he's able to go on Sunday, he could be a player to target in the prop market in this Western Conference battle.

This story will be updated with Doncic's official status on Sunday.

Best Luka Doncic Prop Bet for Lakers vs. Clippers

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.

• Luka Doncic OVER 8.5 Rebounds (-120)

Doncic was held to just two rebounds in Friday’s matchup against the Clippers, but I’m not buying that as the norm going forward. 

Since the All-Star break, Doncic is averaging 10.2 rebounds per game in five games, clearing 8.5 boards in four of those five matchups. In fact, the Lakers guard has 10 or more boards in all four games that he’s cleared this number. 

If he’s able to go on Sunday, Doncic should bounce back on the glass for Los Angeles.
