Cam Reddish

In Reaves' return from a five-game absence, both Vincent and Christie will remain in the starting unit. That leaves Cam Reddish as the odd man out. He'll still have a role off the bench, but it will likely be too limited for him to make much of an impact in fantasy basketball.

James and Reaves were doubtful for Friday's game, so the status downgrades were expected. D'Angelo Russell and Cam Reddish are on track to be the starters in the backcourt, with Gabe Vincent also figuring prominently in the rotation out of necessity.

Due to various injuries to their backcourt rotation, JHS logged 13 minutes on Sunday. However, with D'Angelo Russell and Cam Reddish back, JHS likely would've been pushed out of the rotation for this game anyway.

Both guards will be available after missing the Lakers' previous game on Sunday. With Russell back, Gabe Vincent will likely be pushed back to the bench, though all three will likely play significant roles with Austin Reaves sidelined once again.

Vincent got his first start since joining the Lakers at the start of last season due to the absences of Austin Reaves, D'Angelo Russell and Cam Reddish. His tenure with the team has been disappointing, but during his time with the Lakers, this was his first time scoring in double figures. This was the first night of a back-to-back, and there is certainly a chance that all three of the aforementioned players remaind out, which would allow Vincent to get another start. However, he isn't worth streaming.
