Augustin amassed nine points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over 20 minutes during Thursday's 122-109 loss to the Jazz. Augustin saw 20 minutes of court time for the first time in four games, and he finished with his most points since March 21. The veteran point guard took all of his shots from beyond the arc, making three of four attempts in 20 minutes. Augustin is shooting an impressive 68.6 percent from the field over his past eight contests, and he has averaged 2.3 three-pointers over that stretch. However, his counting stats of 8.3 points, 1.4 boards and 1.1 assists during that span don't give him much fantasy appeal.

Augustin finished with 20 points (7-7 FG, 6-6 3Pt) in 26 minutes during Monday's 131-120 win over the Cavaliers. Augustin was on fire from beyond the arc, connecting on all six of his three-point attempts. He led the Lakers bench in scoring and minutes played. Augustin is a breath of fresh air for a Los Angeles squad that hovers near the bottom-third of the league in three-point shooting percentage. He can have streaming appeal if the Lakers are ever shorthanded.

Augustin provided 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 139-130 overtime loss to Houston. Augustin went 4-for-7 from deep Wednesday and paced Los Angeles' reserves in scoring, though he failed to contribute much in other categories. The veteran point guard has averaged 20.5 minutes through his first four games with the Lakers, but he doesn't offer much fantasy utility given his low usage, especially while Russell Westbrook, Malik Monk and Austin Reaves remain available in the backcourt.

Augustin provided three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound, six assists and three steals in 22 minutes during Thursday's 132-111 loss to the Clippers. Augustin was brought aboard by the Lakers earlier in the week to provide backcourt depth, and the veteran came through with a team-leading six dimes and three thefts despite playing only 22 minutes in his team debut. He has never been a prolific scorer, but Augustin could help the Lakers as a distributor and shooter -- he is shooting 38.0 percent from three-point range over the course of his career. However, it's unlikely that Augustin will see enough minutes to warrant a pickup in fantasy.

Augustin (recently signed) will be available for Thursday's game against the Lakers but is not guaranteed to be in the rotation, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports. Augustin will, in theory, help the Lakers with backup point guard minutes. However, he may not be an everyday player while competing for minutes with Austin Reaves, Malik Monk and other guards.
