Luka Dončić, Marcus Smart, Jake LaRavia, Jarred Vanderbilt and Deandre Ayton will start Wednesday’s game against the Spurs.

The Lakers won’t have LeBron James (foot) for Wednesday’s game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Vanderbilt will fill the void, and while he doesn’t offer much value offensively, starting may raise his defensive ceiling. The other four starters are unchanged.
