The Los Angeles Lakers play Tuesday night against the Phoenix Suns.
It's their last game before taking the court on Christmas Day, which is Thursday, and a chance to build some momentum before playing on the holiday.
They will be missing one key component to their operation, though: Luka Doncic.

Why isn't Luka Doncic playing tonight?
Luka Doncic isn't playing on Tuesday night for the Lakers against the Suns because he's injured.
Doncic left the Lakers' last game with a left leg contusion. That's the injury he's listed as being out with on the official injury report.
On Monday, pictures were taken of Doncic at Lakers practice with a bulky wrap around his left leg.
The Lakers are also without backup point guard Gabe Vincent but are hoping to get Austin Reaves back into action from injury.
LeBron James put up 36 points last time out, so he may get more shots again if Luka is out.
