In 24 minutes of action, Dončić started and recorded 14 points on 5-for-14 shooting from the field and 1-for-7 shooting from three, along with five rebounds, four assists, and one turnover. He was also a +15 in the plus/minus category, the fourth highest on the team.

Lakers fans gave Doncic a rousing ovation when his name was called out last -- after LeBron James -- to introduce the starting lineups. The five-time NBA All-Star, playing under a minutes restriction in his first action since Christmas Day, had 14 points, five rebounds and four assists in 14 minutes.

Lauri Markkanen scored 32 points and had a season-high three steals to lead the Utah Jazz to a 131-119 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.
