The superstar guard had a highlight-worthy game worth talking about. With another 45-point double-double in the books, Doncic made Lakers history<\/a>, joining Elgin Baylor as the only Lakers players with multiple 15 and 10 games.<\/p>\n

Doncic checked in for 38 minutes on Monday night. He shot 15-25 from the field, knocking down 8-14 from deep. He also went 8-12 from the free-throw line, to help him rack up 46 points on the night.<\/p>\n

Along with his scoring, Doncic produced 11 assists to make it a double-double. He nearly secured the triple-double, as he came down with seven rebounds.<\/p>\n

Doncic\u2019s contributions helped the Lakers pick up a 129-118 win over the Bulls. With that victory, the Lakers move to 28-17 on the year, helping them improve their lead over the Phoenix Suns<\/a> as the fifth seed in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n

Now, the Lakers are right on the Houston Rockets<\/a>, who hold a 27-16 record. Houston collected a win of their own against the Memphis Grizzlies<\/a> on Monday night, leaving the Lakers in that fifth spot for another day.<\/p>\n

The Lakers will be back on the court for a Wednesday night battle against the Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> on the road. Lately, Doncic has been dealing with a minor setback, but he hasn\u2019t let it affect his status for the Lakers. He\u2019s still a name to monitor as the Lakers move forward.<\/p>\n
