Jabari Brown scored a career-high 32 points with four treys, three rebounds, two dimes and two steals during a loss to the Kings on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
The Lakers only played two guards on Wednesday night, but Brown was very impressive. The Lakers have loved his progress over the last several weeks. Unfortunately for him, the Lakers will retool their team from top to bottom in the offseason, so Brown will be relegated back to his limited bench role next season.
With only eight men in the rotation, Jabari Brown had an opportunity to make an impression on Lakers brass Monday and he took full advantage, scoring a career-high 22 points on 7-10 shooting including 3-4 from downtown. Brown played 34 minutes off the bench in the 113-111 overtime win over Philadelphia on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Jabari Brown bounced back from a disappointing game on Sunday to score a career-high 22 points. Brown has shown he definitely is capable of contributing to the Lakers, but he'll have to get stronger finishing near the rim if he's going to stick around beyond this season's final weeks. In the meantime, Brown should have plenty of opportunities to prove his worth in the season final stretch and should have no trouble providing quality value as long as he remains near minimum price in daily fantasy games.
Jabari Brown, who's playing on his second 10-day contract this season, has made a pretty positive impression as he tries to find his footing in the NBA. Brown scored five points in 20 minutes of the 108-105 defeat to the Warriors on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Jabari Brown was the D-League's leading scoring at more than 24 points per game and has been seeing about 20 minutes the last three games for the Lakers. He's shot 50 percent or better in each game, and has shown he might be able to make a positive impact moving forward. He has struggled with this three-point shot, making just one of five attempts, but keep an eye on his development as the season winds down, and he may make a solid value play if he keeps seeing consistent court time.
