Fantasy Impact:

It had been rumored that Hachimura would get traded ahead of the Feb. 9 deadline, and now he finds himself alongside Anthony Davis and LeBron James. The fourth-year forward is averaging 13 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.4 assists on 48.8% shooting this season. Hachimura figures to slide into a substantial role as a scorer as Davis and James are the only Laker forwards averaging more than 6.9 PPG. Hachimura hadn't started a single game this season because of a crowded Wizards forward group, but it'd be reasonable to assume that he'll now carve out a starting role while eclipsing the 24.3 minutes per game mark he set in Washington.
