The 26-year-old, who on Tuesday became the quickest Laker to reach 2,000 points, showed no lasting injuries after he fell off Cleveland's elevated court in a 30-point defeat on Thursday.
Leading the way with 26 points by half-time, six-time NBA All-Star Doncic helped the Lakers to their second-highest scoring performance of the season.
Deandre Ayton bagged 28 points and a game-high 13 rebounds, while LeBron James grabbed 20 points and six assists.
The victory denied three straight wins for the Wizards, who had beaten the Portland Trail Blazers and the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Lakers next play the New York Knicks on Monday, while the Wizards face the Sacramento Kings on Sunday.
