Fantasy Impact
This is the first time Kennard has popped up on the injury report due to neck soreness, and his status for Game 2 is now in question. If the three-point specialist is unable to suit up, Bronny James may see an uptick in minutes off the bench.
Luke Kennard is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Suns.
Fantasy Impact
Kennard was banged up in Thursday's win over the Warriors. He should remain in a playmaking role if he is healthy.
Kennard accounted for more than half of the Lakers' three-point makes Monday, finishing as one of the team's top scorers with 19 points (7-of-10 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four three-pointers, two rebounds, one steal, and one assist in the win over the Wizards.
Fantasy Impact
The production is almost entirely tied to the three-point shooting — when the shots are falling like they were Monday, the scoring comes easy, but the contribution beyond the arc remains limited.
