Jake LaRavia made the most of his expanded role in Tuesday’s loss to Detroit, recording nine points (3-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, four steals, one block, and a three-pointer across 38 minutes.
Fantasy Impact
Starting in place of Rui Hachimura (calf), LaRavia struggled to find an offensive rhythm but provided elite value on the defensive end. With Hachimura expected to miss multiple games, LaRavia is poised for extended run in the starting unit. His ability to rack up defensive stats makes him a worthy streaming consideration, particularly given his low roster percentage.
Jake LaRavia scored 25 points (10-13 FG, 2-3 3PT, 3-4 FT) with eight rebounds, three assists and a career-high four steals in Sunday's 130-120 victory over the Miami Heat.
Fantasy Impact
LaRavia has scored 25 or more points in two of his last three games while shooting 78.1% from the field, 66.7% from deep and averaging 2.7 steals. He will look to carry that efficiency into Monday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Jake LaRavia scored 27 points (8-11 FG, 5-6 3PT, 1-2 FT) with eight rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 37 minutes in Wednesday's 116-115 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Fantasy Impact
With Marcus Smart (quadriceps), Gabe Vincent (ankle) and Luka Doncic (finger/leg) sidelined, LaRavia drew his second start of the season and made the most of it, scoring 27 points on 90.9% shooting while adding eight rebounds. He’ll likely remain in the starting lineup until one of the three injured players returns.
Jake LaRavia logged 16 minutes off the bench in the Lakers' 119-109 loss to Golden State on Tuesday, scoring five points (2-of-4 FG, 1-of-2 3Pt, 0-of-2 FT) and grabbing three rebounds.
Fantasy Impact
LaRavia handled a "minor workload" in the opener. His usage confirmed he is currently ahead of fellow wing Dalton Knecht, who did not see the floor. Even with LeBron James (sciatica) sidelined, LaRavia's role doesn't appear large enough to warrant fantasy attention outside of very deep leagues.
Jake LaRavia has agreed to a two-year, $12 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Fantasy Impact
The Kings had been hoping to retain LaRavia, but the Lakers were able to swoop in and snatch him off the free agent market. After a strong finish to last season, he'll add some more shooting off the bench for the Lakers.
