Lakers Injury Report: Status of 3 All-NBA Players Revealed for Must-Win Bout with Atlanta Hawks /
In this story:

Facing the Atlanta Hawks who are on the 2nd night of a back-to-back, the Lakers are limping in behind injuries to both Anthony Davis and LeBron James. 

Davis (eye) is active after missing a chunk of LA's loss to the Warriors on Saturday night.

James (ankle), is also active, as his nagging injury appears to be something he's set to play through for the rest of the season despite regularly popping up on the report.  

For Atlanta, Trae Young (hand) is out, and will continue to be for quite some time longer. Without him, Atlanta is without their best player, scorer, and passer, but despite that, they put up a terrific outing against the Clippers last night, blowing them out 110-93 behind Dejounte Murray's terrific play. 

The Lakers should be able to come away with a win tonight – especially sitting as 9.5-point favorites, as a loss is both inexcusable, and detrimental for their seeding.
