Lakers roll on despite injuries stacking up

Austin Reaves will miss Saturday’s game against the Hawks with a right groin strain, while Maxi Kleber is upgraded to questionable. Reaves’ averages—31.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 9.3 assists—have been stellar, so his absence hurts.

Still, with five straight wins, the Lakers are so hot they might need cooling gel instead of injury ice packs.
