Lakers' Kyle Kuzma: Double-double as starter
Kuzma notched 25 points (10-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and a steal across 34 minutes in Wednesday's loss at Sacramento.
Kuzma started for the first time since Feb. 22 and thrived, posting his second straight double-double while also recording a season-high mark of 25 points. Kuzma's role moving forward will be determined by whether LeBron James (ankle) returns to the lineup or not, but he has proven his worth as a reliable scoring asset. His biggest problem, however, lies on the lack of consistency.

Lakers' Dennis Schroder: One assist shy of double-double
Schroder delivered 28 points (11-20 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine assists, a rebound, a steal and a block across 34 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Kings.
The Lakers didn't have LeBron James (ankle) and Anthony Davis (calf), and this result in Schroder posting a season-high 20 shots from the field while also scoring a season-best 28 points. Expect Schroder to see a slight uptick in his numbers across the board if both Davis and James are forced to miss more games.

Lakers' Montrezl Harrell: Delivers double-double off bench
Harrell notched 26 points (13-22 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 12 rebounds, an assist and a block across 33 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's loss against the Kings.
Harrell contributed 26 points for the second time over his last six appearances and has scored 15-plus points four times in that stretch. His scoring numbers might be inconsistent off the bench, but Harrell has a clear role and consistent playing time so he should remain a reliable fantasy asset in most formats even if he has an off night from time to time. He is averaging 14.6 points per game on 58.7 percent shooting over his last 10 outings, however, so he's trending in the right direction.

Lakers' Kyle Kuzma: Playing, starting Wednesday
Kuzma (heel) is active and will start in Wednesday's game against the Kings, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
After missing the Lakers' last game with a right heel bruise, Kuzma is set to return to action Wednesday. With LeBron James ruled out with an ankle injury, Kuzma should see plenty of run with the Lakers' first unit. He's averaging 11.1 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 25.6 minutes per game this season.

Lakers' Montrezl Harrell: Opts for bench role
Harrell will come off the bench Wednesday against the Kings, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
The 27-year-old started and played 18 minutes Tuesday with Marc Gasol (COVID-19 protocols) unavailable, but he'll shift back to the bench Wednesday. Coach Frank Vogel said Harrell indicated he prefers to serve in a bench role, so Damian Jones will join the starting five for the shorthanded Lakers.

Lakers' Damian Jones: Joins starting five
Jones (back) will start Wednesday's game at Sacramento, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
The 25-year-old combined for 15 minutes over the past two games, but he'll receive the start Wednesday with Anthony Davis (calf) and Marc Gasol (COVID-19 protocols) unavailable, and Montrezl Harrell preferring to come off the bench. Jones could be in for a heavier workload against the Kings since LeBron James (ankle) is also sidelined and Kyle Kuzma (heel) is a game-time decison.
