Availability
Austin Reaves chipped in 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3PT, 2-2 FT) while also dishing out three assists and grabbing one rebound in the Lakers' 129-101 win over the Warriors Saturday night.
Fantasy Impact
Reaves continues a solid stretch on the offensive end of the floor, finishing with two or more assists and 14 or more points in each of his last five games. The guard continues to offer fantasy managers reliable output as part of an explosive Los Angeles starting five, averaging 24.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game to go along with a usage rate of 27.2% so far this season.
Reaves finished Tuesday's loss to the Magic with 18 points (6-of-16 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), three assists, two three-pointers, two rebounds, two blocks, and one steal. He shot 6-of-9 from the field in the second half, which helped offset a difficult start shooting the ball.
Fantasy Impact
Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his availability heading into the weekend — the Lakers close out the week with a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday against the Kings.
Austin Reaves filled the stat sheet for the Lakers Friday night, dishing out two assists, grabbing six rebounds, recording two steals, and scoring 29 points (9-15 FG, 4-5 3PT, 7-7 FT) in a 125-122 win over the Clippers.
Fantasy Impact
Reaves continues a solid stretch on both ends of the floor, dishing out two or more assists, grabbing two or more rebounds, and scoring 16 or more points in each of his last five games. The guard continues to form an explosive backcourt tandem with Luka Doncic in the Los Angeles starting five, averaging 25.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game while carrying a usage rate of 28.0% so far this season.
The Lakers say Austin Reaves is no longer under a minutes restriction.
Fantasy Impact
Reaves had been on a restriction in the final games leading into the All-Star break. He'll be a full-go out of the break.
Austin Reaves (calf) has been ruled out for the Los Angeles Lakers against the San Antonio Spurs Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Reaves will receive the second contest of a back-to-back off for calf injury management alongside both LeBron James (foot) and Luka Doncic (hamstring), leaving the Los Angeles starting five without its most dynamic options against the Spurs Tuesday night. Rui Hachimura and Luke Kennard should receive as many touches as they can handle.
