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.

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.

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.
