After wrapping up the No. 3 seed in Friday’s win over the Rockets, the Lakers will rest basically everyone in their regular season finale on Sunday.

All of Luka Dončić (left quad soreness), Dorian Finney-Smith (left ankle effusion), Rui Hachimura (left patellar tendinopathy), LeBron James (left groin strain), Maxi Kleber (right foot surgery recovery) and Austin Reaves (right ankle sprain) are out for the game.

Meanwhile, Jaxson Hayes (right hand contusion), Jarred Vanderbilt (left foot injury management) and Gabe Vincent (left knee effusion) are questionable, putting their status for the game up in the air. Jordan Goodwin (right plantar fasciitis) is probable.

While the Blazers aren’t in the playoffs, they have their own Cooper Flagg-inspired reasons to rest players on Sunday, so they, too, have a host of players out.

Deandre Ayton (left calf strain), Jerami Grant (right knee inflammation), Scoot Henderson (concussion protocol), Bryce McGowens (right rib fracture), Anfernee Simons (right forearm contusion), Robert Williams III (left knee injury management) are all out.

Deni Avdija (right thumb sprain) is doubtful and Shaedon Sharpe (right knee soreness) is questionable.

So, is everyone else prepared for a healthy dose of Bronny James, Dalton Knecht and Markieff Morris?

There’s no reason for the Lakers to play anyone of note. Give all of their key players an extended rest that’ll end up being over a week.

Instead, all eyes will be focused on the other games around the Western Conference, which will determine who the purple and gold face in the first round of the playoffs. So no one will blame you if you flip channels on Sunday.
