Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Puts up 22 points in blowout win
Hachimura produced 22 points (8-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 131-107 victory over the Jazz.
With no Luka Doncic (hamstring) or Austin Reaves (oblique) in the lineup, and with LeBron James logging only 17 minutes, Hachimura co-led the Lakers in scoring alongside Deandre Ayton. With Doncic and Reaves not expected to be a factor in the early stages of the playoff series against the Rockets, Hachimura will be tasked with playing a big role on offense as a scorer behind James. Hachimura averaged 11.5 points per game across 68 appearances (41 starts) in 2025-26, but that number increased marginally to 13.4 points per contest when he was part of the first unit.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Leading scorer in losing effort
Hachimura had 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 123-87 loss to the Thunder.
With no Luka Doncic (hamstring), Austin Reaves (oblique) or LeBron James (foot) in the lineup, Hachimura led the Lakers in scoring on the night. The 28-year-old has scored in double digits in four of the last five games (three starts), averaging 13.6 points, 4.0 boards, 1.4 threes and 1.0 combined blocks and steals in 25.6 minutes while shooting 60.0 percent from the floor. Hachimura will likely continue to see elevated usage to close out the regular season as the Lakers focus on getting their stars healthy for the playoffs.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Scores 21 points in loss Sunday
Hachimura produced 21 points (9-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 39 minutes during Sunday's 134-128 loss to the Mavericks.
With Luka Doncic (hamstring), Austin Reaves (oblique) and Marcus Smart (ankle) sidelined, Hachimura moved into the starting lineup. He thrived with a 21-point performance, marking his best scoring night since he delivered a 23-point output in a win over the Bulls on Jan. 26. Expect Hachimura to have a sizable role on offense in the final week of the regular season, given he should be a go-to option as long as Doncic and Reaves remain out. Reaves isn't expected back until early May at the earliest, while Doncic's timetable remains uncertain.
