Rui Hachimura

LAL Forward #28

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Rui Hachimura added 23 points (9-of-11 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in the win over the Bulls on Monday.

Hachimura recorded one of his best games of January, scoring over 20 points for the first time since early November. The points came from efficient jump shooting and strong contributions from the three-point line. And although Hachimura didn’t make much noise in any other areas of the game, his scoring output on Monday should serve as another encouraging sign that the seventh-year forward has found his rhythm on offense again, having now totaled 40 points over the past two games. His production will be useful for the Lakers going forward, as they look to extend their winning streak to three games on Wednesday against the Cavaliers.
LeBron James

LAL Forward #23

LeBron James had 24 points (9-of-19 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one three-pointer in the win over the Bulls on Monday.

James played a solid game on Monday. He scored above his season average and was solid on the glass. His assist total was lower than usual, however, which brought down his fantasy production. While James has slowed down some in his 23rd NBA season, he’s still a reliable performer on a nightly basis, with the potential to contribute consistently across most statistical categories.
Luka Dončić

LAL Forward-Guard #77

Luka Dončić posted 46 points (15-of-25 FGs, 8-of-12 FTs), seven rebounds, 11 assists and eight three-pointers in the win over the Bulls on Monday.

Dončić followed a very strong performance against the Mavericks with another stellar one on Monday. He was outstanding in the win over Chicago, as he led Los Angeles in points, rebounds, assists and three-pointers. The Bulls had no answer for the superstar guard, who picked apart Chicago’s defense in various ways. The cherry on top for fantasy managers who roster Dončić was that he recorded only three turnovers. The Lakers have now put together back-to-back wins and Dončić has been a big reason why.
Jake LaRavia

LAL Forward #12

Jake LaRavia (quad) is available for Monday’s matchup with the Bulls.

LaRavia will shed his questionable tag and play through his left quad contusion. He should remain in the starting lineup, with Rui Hachimura supporting him off the bench and picking up additional minutes if LaRavia is limited.
Jake LaRavia

LAL Forward #12

Jake LaRavia (quad) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Bulls.

LaRavia, who’s been a fixture in the starting lineup since the end of December, is dealing with a left quad contusion. If he’s unable to play against the Bulls, that opens the door for Rui Hachimura to start for the first time since going down with a strained calf last month.
Deandre Ayton

LAL Center #5

Deandre Ayton accounted for nine points (4-of-16 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds and one blocked shot in Saturday’s win over the Mavericks.

The good news for fantasy managers is that Ayton reached double digits in rebounds for the fourth time in his last seven appearances. That should take some of the sting out of the poor shooting. Over his previous two games, Ayton has shot 6-of-21 from the field, so it may be fair to question whether the left eye injury suffered in Denver on Tuesday is still an issue. As long as Ayton can provide increased production as a rebounder, the shooting should not be too much of a problem.
LeBron James

LAL Forward #23

LeBron James tallied 17 points (8-of-16 FGs), eight rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Saturday’s win over the Mavericks.

James filled the stat sheet, so there was some value to be had despite the limited scoring. Since the beginning of the month, he’s only had two games in which he’s failed to score at least 20 points. And over the past two weeks, James has offered top-20 value in eight-cat formats. The Lakers play four games in Week 15 with no back-to-backs, starting with Monday’s game against the Bulls in Chicago.
Luka Dončić

LAL Forward-Guard #77

Luka Dončić finished Saturday’s win over the Mavericks with 33 points (8-of-15 FGs, 14-of-15 FTs), eight rebounds, 11 assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers.

Playing in Dallas for the second time since being traded last January, Dončić helped lead the Lakers’ comeback. He finished two rebounds shy of a triple-double, and a charge taken on Naji Marshall with just under 42 seconds remaining sealed the game. Over the past two weeks, Dončić has been the top-ranked player in eight-cat formats. The Lakers continue their road trip in Chicago on Monday, the first of four games they’ll play in Week 15.
Rui Hachimura

LAL Forward #28

Rui Hachimura notched 12 points (5-of-11 FGs), three rebounds, two assists, one block and two three-pointers in Thursday’s loss to the Clippers.

Since making his return from a strained calf on January 13, Hachimura’s playing time has increased steadily. Thursday’s game was the second straight in which he logged 28 minutes, and the Lakers’ forward was solid. The question now is whether Hachimura is locked into the reserve role or will he reclaim his place in the starting lineup. Jake LaRavia (7/5/1/3/4 with two three-pointers) was highly productive as a defender on Thursday, but he only played 22 minutes as the starter. That’s something to be mindful of as the Lakers move forward.
LeBron James

LAL Forward #23

LeBron James accumulated 23 points (9-of-19 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Thursday’s loss to the Clippers.

While Thursday’s production may have been pedestrian by James’ lofty standards, his fantasy value is approaching the level many fantasy managers expected it to be before the season began. A top-30 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, LeBron’s season-long value is rapidly approaching his Yahoo! ADP (36). As long as he remains healthy, getting back to that level should not be too much of a challenge for the 41-year-old.
