Reaves missed the Lakers' two previous games, but he will be back to take on New York. His return should push Gabe Vincent back to the bench after averaging 30 minutes across two unproductive starts.
Reaves is on track to return after missing two games with a calf injury. His return would push Gabe Vincent to the bench, which would have minimal impact on fantasy basketball.
Although initially questionable for Tuesday's game, Doncic appears to be on track to play. Luka's playing means Gabe Vincent would remain in his usual bench role, providing minimal fantasy value at best.
Reaves injured his calf last Friday against the Clippers. The 26-year-old shooting guard is set to miss his second-straight game. Gabe Vincent and Dalton Knecht are in line for additional minutes with Reaves out, though Knecht would have more fantasy value as a streamer.
The Lakers will already be without Rui Hachimura and Maxi Kleber, so the potential absences of Doncic and Reaves could leave the Lakers sorely shorthanded. LeBron James is expected to play, and James could shoulder a hefty workload if Doncic or Reaves are sidelined. Guys like Gabe Vincent and Dalton Knecht could also see additional run.
