What happened: Luka Doncic is in his first season in Los Angeles as the franchise's singular star, per Sportsnet's Michael Grange. The Toronto Raptors lost to the Lakers in Los Angeles, with Doncic at the center of the game.

Why it matters: With no other star sharing the load, the Lakers' offense runs through Doncic. Doncic's recent scoring has made that plain for opponents across the league.

By the numbers: Doncic is averaging 43.8 points over his last four games, and 36.2 through five games this season.

What to watch: Opponents will keep building game plans around Doncic as the Lakers' schedule continues.
