Availability
Jake LaRavia scored three points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3PT, 1-2 FT) and added six rebounds, one assist, and three steals in the Lakers' 142-111 win over Washington on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
LaRavia appears to have a tenuous hold on keeping his starting role as he failed to reach double figures in scoring for the seventh time in the last eight games. During that stretch, LaRavia is averaging 6.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.1 assists while shooting just 38.1% (16-of-42) from the field and 23.1% (6-of-26) from long distance. He has been, however, active on the defensive end with 13 steals and seven blocks over the last eight games. But, with Austin Reaves seemingly nearing his return, LaRavia appears to be the odd man out of the starting lineup.
Jake LaRavia has been upgraded to available for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls.
Fantasy Impact
LaRavia is battling a left quad contusion but will play through the injury, maintaining his status as the only Los Angeles Lakers player to have not missed a game this season. He is averaging 9.7 points, four rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 steals over his last 10 games.
Jake LaRavia is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls.
Fantasy Impact
LaRavia is dealing with a left quad contusion, which could force him to miss Monday’s contest. If he is unable to play, Rui Hachimura could draw the start.
Jake LaRavia scored 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3PT, 2-2 FT), grabbed four rebounds, and had three assists in the Lakers' 141-116 victory over the Hawks on Tuesday night.
Fantasy Impact
It was a solid rebound effort for LaRavia, who scored just two points on 1-of-7 shooting in the Lakers' last game against Sacramento on Monday. It was his fifth double-digit scoring effort in the last seven games and he has also hit at least three triples in five of his last seven. Rui Hachimura returned to the Lakers' lineup on Tuesday, so it remains to be seen if LaRavia will get pushed back to the bench moving forward. LaRavia is averaging 12.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.4 assists as a starter this season. Los Angeles hosts Charlotte on Thursday night.
Jake LaRavia scored 16 points (6-13 FG, 4-9 3PT) and grabbed seven rebounds in Wednesday's 107-91 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
Fantasy Impact
LaRavia a lot of work on Wednesday with LeBron James (foot, sciatica) sidelined for the Lakers. He ended up having a decent showing, finishing with 16 points in the team's loss to San Antonio. He has been productive recently and will continue to be a decent fantasy option for the foreseeable future.
