• Lakers' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Remains blistering hot in loss

  04/10/2019 • By RotoWire Staff

  Caldwell-Pope turned in 32 points (11-31 FG, 5-15 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and one steal across 44 minutes in the Lakers' 104-101 loss to the Trail Blazers on Tuesday. With the Lakers sporting a mile-long list of key absences, Caldwell-Pope once again stepped up as the usage monster for the night. The veteran easily paced all scorers in shot attempts and posted his second straight 32-point effort in the process. KCP also has 23- and 25-point tallies on his April resume, and he's demonstrated excellent late-season scoring upside on multiple occasions when given sufficient minutes. However, the book on Caldwell-Pope remains the same as it always has -- he's a streaky shooter than can always turn in just as bad of a clunker as he can a lights-out effort such as Tuesday's. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether he'll be able to find a starting job elsewhere in the 2019-20 campaign after playing this season on his second consecutive one-year contract with the Lakers.

• Lakers' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Scores 19, but hits no triples

  04/01/2019 • By RotoWire Staff

  Caldwell-Pope supplied 19 points (8-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and one steal in 29 minutes Sunday in the Lakers' 130-102 win over the Pelicans. Caldwell-Pope has been delivering these sort of scoring outbursts with regularity lately, but this one wasn't particularly useful for fantasy purposes since it came with no three-pointers and very little other supporting numbers. Even so, Caldwell-Pope's averages of 19.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.4 triples and 1.8 assists over the past five contests are useful enough to make him worth considering in weekly lineups ahead of the Lakers' three-game slate.
