Austin Reaves

Reaves' streak of games with at least 22 points ended at six on Monday, as the Magic kept him in check for most of the night. However, he has been an elite fantasy option over the past two weeks, providing top-10 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Of course, some of those games were played without LeBron James, so the expectation was that Reaves' numbers would take a hit once he returned. While the scoring will be impacted, Reaves is a talented player who can compensate for that hit with improved production in other categories.

LeBron James' return to the Lakers lineup did not significantly impact Reaves' production. He was highly efficient and extended his streak of 20-point games to six. Since the All-Star break, the Lakers guard has provided top-25 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Reaves' usage is not on par with that of James or Luka Doncic, but it doesn't need to be. The good news for fantasy managers is that the Lakers play four games during Week 21, starting with the Magic on Monday.

Hachimura is available after missing 12 games with a left knee injury. Lakers coach JJ Redick said he will be on a minutes restriction for multiple games, beginning with a cap of 20-24 minutes on Saturday. Vincent started Thursday's loss to the Bucks but will come off the bench since Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves are available.

Reaves (ankle) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Bulls, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Doncic and Reaves were initially probable for Saturday's game, so this was the expected outcome. They'll occupy their usual places within the Lakers' starting five, so managers need to have them in their active lineups before tipoff. LeBron James (groin) is a game-time decision, so the Lakers could be back to full strength on Saturday.
