Lakers' Austin Reaves: Scorches Raptors for 44 points
Rotowire
Reaves tallied 44 points (13-21 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 13-15 FT), five rebounds and 10 assists in 41 minutes during Thursday's 123-120 victory over Toronto.
Reaves propelled the Lakers to victory by putting together an elite shooting performance. He was dialed in from downtown, connecting for three or more triples for a fourth straight game. This was a nice bounce-back showing out of the Oklahoma product, who was held to 16 points Monday against the Suns. Outside of Monday's dud, Reaves has had his way as a scorer of late, averaging 32.4 points over his last five appearances.

Rotowire
Reaves recorded 31 points (11-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and three steals over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 135-118 win over the Clippers.
The fifth-year guard just missed recording his second straight double-double and sixth of the season, producing at least 25 points for the 10th time in 14 games on the campaign. In seven contests since returning from a groin strain, Reaves is averaging 24.6 points, 6.3 boards, 4.7 assists, 1.9 threes and 1.4 steals while shooting 50.9 percent from the floor.
Reaves posted 22 points (7-17 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 40 minutes during Sunday's 108-106 win over the Jazz.
The double-double was his fifth of the season and second involving rebounds instead of assists. Reaves has scored more than 20 points in five of six starts since returning from a three-game absence due to a groin strain, averaging 23.5 points, 5.8 boards, 5.0 assists, 1.8 threes and 1.2 steals over that stretch despite shooting just 26.2 percent from long distance. The return of LeBron James has not significantly impacted Reaves' usage.
Reaves had 26 points (7-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 11-12 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 140-126 win over the Jazz.
Reaves has been on fire since returning from a groin injury, averaging 23.8 points, 5.2 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocked shots over the last five games. He also sported a field-goal percentage of 49.3 percent over that span. Although LeBron James has returned to action, Reaves should continue to distinguish himself as the team's second-best scoring option behind Luka Doncic.
Reaves accumulated 25 points (9-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Saturday's 119-95 win over the Bucks.
Reaves continues to play at a high level for the Lakers and reached the 25-point mark for the eighth time in his 11 appearances. Having scored at least 24 points in all but one game during the current month, Reaves is firmly entrenched as the Lakers' second-best option behind Luka Doncic, who's leading the league in scoring.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Goes off for 31 points in win
Rotowire
Reaves closed with 31 points (9-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 11-13 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Friday's 118-104 victory over the Pelicans.
Even though Luka Doncic had an impressive stat line and finished just three rebounds shy of a triple-double, it was Reaves who led the Lakers in scoring in this win. Reaves has been outstanding this season and is among the league's top scorers while filling the scoring void left by the absence of LeBron James (back). Reaves has been on a tear of late as well, as this was his seventh game (out of 10 appearances) with at least 25 points in 2025-26.

Reaves was cleared to return Monday from a three-game absence due to a groin strain. He didn't score with much efficiency, but he got to the charity stripe for a game-high 11 free-throw attempts, led the Lakers in rebounds and finished second in scoring behind Luka Doncic (38 points). The Lakers capped Reaves at under 30 minutes in his return, but he could see a slight uptick in playing time during the team's next game Wednesday at Oklahoma City.

The Oklahoma product was off to a stellar start before the setback, averaging 31.1 points, 9.3 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 37.9 minutes per contest across seven appearances. Barring any limitations, he should resume his role as a focal point of the Lakers' offense alongside Luka Doncic.
