Lakers' Austin Reaves: Posts team-high 28 points
Rotowire
Reaves recorded 28 points (10-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Friday's 125-117 win over the Clippers.
Reaves led the Lakers in scoring, posting a game-high 28 points while adding a team-high nine assists. He has opened the season with two strong outings, and with Doncic struggling to hold onto the ball, Reaves took over late to help seal the win. He's firmly the second option in Los Angeles' post-LeBron offense.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Scores 23 points Wednesday
Rotowire
Reaves delivered 23 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 10-10 FT), four rebounds, six assists, two steals and a block across 32 minutes in Wednesday's 127-105 win over the Warriors.
Even though Luka Doncic and Walker Kessler stole the show in this win, Reaves posted a strong line in his own right. His six assists and three combined steals-plus-blocks provided valuable production beyond scoring, reinforcing his multi-category fantasy appeal. With Doncic commanding significant usage, Reaves may experience occasional scoring fluctuations, but his playing time and versatility should support a relatively stable fantasy floor as the Lakers' No. 2 offensive option in most games.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Leads Lakers in scoring
Rotowire
Reaves tallied 19 points (5-11 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 8-12 FT), five rebounds, three assists and a steal across 31 minutes in Friday's 121-106 preseason loss to the Nuggets.
Reaves led Los Angeles in scoring but struggled from beyond the arc, converting just one of seven attempts. His role as the Lakers' No. 2 scoring option behind Luka Doncic is pretty much set in stone, and he should be a key fantasy option for the Lakers as long as he can stay on the court, given his likely high usage rate as both a scorer and playmaker.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Pours in 28 points
Rotowire
Reaves recorded 28 points (10-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and seven assists across 25 minutes in Tuesday's 101-89 preseason loss against Golden State.
Reaves delivered an impressive offensive performance, leading the Lakers in scoring while shooting efficiently from beyond the arc with Luka Doncic taking the night off for rest. The veteran guard looks to be in mid-season form ahead of Opening Night.
Reaves (ankle) is available for Thursday's preseason game against the Kings, Benjamin Royer of The Orange County Register reports.
Head coach JJ Redick confirmed Reaves' availability, meaning the Lakers will have one of their go-to offensive options on the hardwood for this preseason contest. As a result, Reaves will get some much-needed reps and playing time as the regular season approaches.
Reaves (ankle) won't play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Warriors, Luca Evans of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Reaves missed Monday's game against the Kings after tweaking his ankle, and the Lakers won't risk him, so he'll also sit the second half of this back-to-back set. Reaves' next chance to make his preseason debut will come against the Kings on Thursday.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Unavailable Monday
Rotowire
Reaves won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Kings after tweaking his ankle, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
The Lakers don't appear to be overly concerned about the injury at this point. Reaves will have another chance to make his preseason debut Tuesday against Golden State.
Lakers president Rob Pelinka referred to Reaves, Luka Doncic and Walker Kessler as the team's "Big 3" while discussing the continuity of the roster, Ryan Ward of SI.com reports.
The comments reinforce Reaves' prominent role in Los Angeles' offense and suggest he should remain a major part of the team's plans alongside Doncic and Kessler this season. Fantasy managers can expect a mild bump in offensive usage with LeBron James out of the mix as well.
