The Los Angeles Lakers have finally gotten back on track with two straight wins against the Memphis Grizzlies, correcting the skid they've been on lately. The Lakers will try to continue that momentum against the Western Conference-worst New Orleans Pelicans.

The Lakers are still dealing with the several multi-week injuries they've been afflicted with, straining what's an already-thin bench. LeBron James and Luka Dončić will be called on even more than usual, just as they were in the lakers' two wins against the Grizzlies, to help power the purple and gold to victory. 

The Pelicans have lost seven games in a row heading into Tuesday's game and with a long list of injuries of their own, their chances of victory look just as slim against the Lakers. 

Austin Reaves (calf) remains OUT while he continues to recover from a calf strain. Reaves was diagnosed with a Grade 2 gastrocnemius strain in his left leg and is set to be re-evaluated in juts over two weeks. 

Rui Hachimura (calf) is also OUT with a right calf strain. Hachimura has been out since Dec. 28 and has been ruled out for the entirety of the Lakers' two-game road trip, which kicks off against the Pelicans. 

Ado Thiero (knee) is OUT with a right MCL sprain. Thiero is expected to be out for another three weeks while he continues to recover from the MCL sprain he suffered, depriving the Lakers of the fast and athletic rookie for a significant amount of time. 

Gabe Vincent (back) is DOUBTFUL for Tuesday's game due to a lumbar strain. Vincent has been out since De. 14 due to the injury and while any status upgrade beyond being outright out is a positive sign, there's no clear timetable for when he will be able to return.

Herb Jones (ankle) is QUESTIONABLE for Tuesday's game due to a sprained right ankle that has kept him sidelined since Dec. 22. 

Saddiq Bey (hip) is OUT for Tuesday's game with a right hip flexor strain. This will be the third-straight game that Bey will miss due to the injury. 

Dejounte Murray (Achilles) is OUT for Tuesday's game. Murray has yet to debut this season due to an Achilles rupture he suffered last January. There's no clear timeline for Murray to return to the court, and Pelicans interim head coach  James Borrego recently said that there will be more clarity in Murray's injury update next month. 

Hunter Dickinson and Trey Alexander (two-way) are both OUT for Tuesday's game as they are playing with the Birmingham Squadron, New Orleans' G-League affiliate as part of their tw-way contracts.
