  • LAL Power Forward #2
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) and Gabe Vincent (knee) are available for Sunday’s game against the Trail Blazers.
    Vanderbilt and Vincent have been key rotation players for the Lakers lately. Both reserves have a chance to start against Portland as their stars are resting ahead of the playoffs. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect gaudy numbers from either player.
  • LAL Center #11
    Jaxson Hayes (hand) and Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) are questionable for Sunday’s game against the Trail Blazers.
    The Lakers secured the third seed in the West with their win over the Rockets on Friday. Sunday’s rotation will look nothing like the core that will take center stage in the postseason next weekend. If Hayes and Vanderbilt do not play on Sunday, Trey Jemison is one of the frontcourt players who will figure more prominently in the rotation.
  • LAL Small Forward #17
    Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Jarred Vanderbilt (groin) are available for Saturday’s game against the Bulls.
    After sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Bucks, Finney-Smith and Vanderbilt will return to the Lakers’ rotation. Their returns mean Markieff Morris will likely fall out of the rotation entirely, which does not impact fantasy basketball.
  • LAL Small Forward #17
    Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Jarred Vanderbilt (groin) are probable to play against the Bulls on Saturday.
    Both forwards are expected to be back after missing Thursday’s game against Milwaukee. The Lakers were without six key rotation pieces for that game on the second night of a back-to-back. Markieff Morris should be bumped back out of the rotation with DFS and Vanderbilt expected back.
  • LAL Small Forward #17
    Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Jarred Vanderbilt (groin) have been ruled out against the Bucks on Thursday.
    Both forwards were initially doubtful, so it isn’t surprising that they’ve been ruled out. Markieff Morris will get the start in place of DFS, but Cam Reddish should also make a return to the rotation for the shorthanded Lakers.
  • LAL Small Forward #17
    Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Jarred Vanderbilt (groin) are doubtful to play against the Bucks on Thursday.
    Both forwards are expected to be sidelined for the second leg of the Lakers’ back-to-back. Cam Reddish and Markieff Morris are both candidates to return to the rotation, but at this point, everyone available for the Lakers should play a ton of minutes.
  • LAL Power Forward #2
    Jarred Vanderbilt was ejected from Monday’s game against the Spurs with 6:27 remaining in the fourth quarter.
    Vanderbilt got into a shoving match with Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan, which resulted in both players being ejected. Vanderbilt kicked things off with a forceful forearm to the Spurs forward’s back, and Sochan responded by hitting the Lakers forward with the ball. Vanderbilt shoved Sochan, and both players were ejected after the players and officials broke things up. Vanderbilt finished with two points, one rebound, and one assist in 15 minutes.
  • LAL Small Forward #17
    Dorian Finney-Smith accounted for 10 points (3-of-7 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in 35 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Suns.
    Finney-Smith returned to the Lakers’ lineup on Sunday after sitting out Friday’s loss to the Nuggets, bumping Jarred Vanderbilt (three rebounds in 10 minutes) to the bench. The veteran forward was solid in his 35 minutes, providing decent value in the rebound, assist and three-point categories. However, even with LeBron James (groin) sidelined, Finney-Smith is a deep-league player at best.
  • LAL Point Guard #30
    Jordan Goodwin logged 34 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Nuggets, accumulating 10 points (4-of-8 FGs), six rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers.
    Goodwin was one of the replacements in the Lakers’ starting lineup Friday night. While the scoring wasn’t there, he provided solid value in his 34 minutes. Like Jarred Vanderbilt (9/7/7/3 with one three-pointer in 24 minutes), Goodwin is a deep-league dart throw for fantasy managers left to go deep into the waiver wire for additional depth. With Luka Doncic potentially returning on Sunday, there’s no need to add Goodwin or Vanderbilt for the Lakers’ final Week 19 game against the Suns.
  • LAL Small Forward #17
    Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Gabe Vincent (knee) are out for Friday’s game against the Nuggets.
    Finney-Smith and Vincent were initially doubtful for Friday’s game, so the status downgrades are unsurprising. Dalton Knecht and Jarred Vanderbilt will take on more prominent positions within the Lakers’ rotation, likely as starters. Luka Doncic and LeBron James are also out for Friday’s game.
