Reaves has had back-to-back games with at least 30 points buoyed by magnificent three-point shooting efforts. He's 15-of-25 from behind the three-point line over the last two nights. The 26-year-old shooting guard now has at least 30 points in four of his last five games. Reaves has provided third-round fantasy value on the season, but he's been even better lately. He's peaking at the right time for fantasy managers.
Reaves' breakout season continued on Thursday, and he added another milestone to his special year. Though it wasn't enough for the Lakers to get the win, Reaves set a new career-high for three-pointers made in a game. He only had 12 points in their last game against Houston, but Reaves has now scored at least 30 points in three of the Lakers' last four games. Over the course of the season, he has provided third-round value in nine-cat leagues and has been a first-rounder of the past two months. He will be an intriguing player heading into fantasy drafts next season.
