James took a more measured approach on the offensive end on Monday, something he’s more frequently done in his 23rd NBA season. The four-time champion shot efficiently in his limited attempts, which was enough on this night to finish as the Lakers’ second-leading scorer. James tied a team-high in assists and also racked up a couple of steals to sweeten his final stat line. The Lakers will see the Rockets again on Wednesday, giving James a chance to land even more production in the rematch.

Uncharacteristically, Reaves’ defensive performance topped what he did on the offensive end on Monday. The fifth-year guard led all players in steals and added a blocked shot, tallying five stocks on the evening. On offense, he went without a made three-pointer for only the third time all season, which led to a poor shooting performance overall. Reaves had scored at least 30 points in the three previous games, so it shouldn’t be surprising if he were to bounce back with a strong offensive showing in Wednesday’s rematch against Houston.

Dončić’s run of dominant offensive performances continued on Monday, when he scored 30 points for the sixth consecutive game. The do-it-all guard made an impact from beyond the arc, but uncharacteristically didn’t have his usual rebounding and passing production to go with it. Still, his scoring output was welcome in a game in which both teams struggled to consistently put points on the board. Dončić has an opportunity to extend his streak of 30-point games to seven on Wednesday in a rematch against the Rockets.

Monday’s game against the Rockets will be the fourth that Kleber has missed with a lumbar strain, and he’s going to miss a few games beyond that. According to Lakers head coach JJ Redick, the veteran forward has been shut down for five days and did not travel with the team for the start of its six-game road trip. There’s hope that Kleber will be able to rejoin the Lakers during the trip, but his availability does not affect fantasy basketball.
