Ball continues to miss games with a wrist injury that’s kept him out since February 28. While the 27-year-old point guard is out again, he could return soon. Kevin Huerter figures to continue to see an increased role in his absence.

Reaves was initially listed as questionable, but he is now expected to suit up against Memphis. He has been playing through this ankle injury despite twisting it multiple times over the Lakers’ last few games. He’ll continue to occupy his spot in the starting unit, which means that Gabe Vincent and Jordan Goodwin won’t be in line for extra minutes.

Following an extended absence, Hachimura appeared in three straight games before sitting out Thursday’s loss to Chicago. That game was the second leg of a back-to-back set, and the Lakers will likely manage Hachimura’s knee injury moving forward. He started and logged 28 minutes in his last game out, and fantasy managers should expect a similar workload against Memphis. Dorian Finney-Smith may see a dip in playing time as a result.

While Reaves went off for 30 points during Thursday’s loss to the Bulls, he also tweaked his right ankle. With LeBron James and Luka Doncic off the injury report, the Lakers will have enough firepower to account for Reaves’ absence if he cannot play. Gabe Vincent and Jordan Goodwin may play additional minutes, but neither would be a must-stream player.

He wasn’t able to keep his streak of 35-point games alive, but this was another spectacular showing for one of the hottest players in basketball. He scored 15 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter, including a triple with six seconds left in the game that gave Chicago a lead after they trailed by 18 points earlier in the period. White has provided top-25 value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks with averages of 29.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 3.4 triples per game, and he’ll look to stay hot against the Mavericks on Saturday.

Huerter rebounded from Monday’s nine-point performance in a big way on Thursday. He reached 20 points for the second time in Chicago’s last four games, and after only hitting one triple over their two previous games, Huerter knocked down five of them as the Bulls won their fourth-straight game. Huerter also hit the 1,000th three-pointer of his career, which is a special milestone for the 26-year-old sharpshooter. He’ll look to carry this momentum into a matchup with Dallas on Saturday to wrap up the week.

Since returning from seven-game absence due to a calf injury, James has been quiet as a scorer. He has scored less than 20 points in three of his last four games, and he barely held on to his lengthy streak of double digit games on Wednesday. He’ll get things clicking eventually, and he was able to make up for it with 12 dimes on Thursday, which was the most he has had in a game since early February. Unfortunately, the only things people will remember from this game will be LeBron turning it over late and then Josh Giddey hitting the game-winner from half court over James’ outstretched hand.

Doncic wasn’t able to extend his streak of 30-point games to five, but he was still able to provide well-rounded production despite a subpar shooting night. It wasn’t enough to offset the late-game heroics from Chicago, but it was more than enough to make an impact for fantasy managers. The Lakers will wrap up the week in Memphis on Saturday, and then they’ll play four games next week, with a back-to-back on Thursday and Friday. However, Doncic was able to play in this back-to-back for the Lakers, so managers shouldn’t stress, especially with LA fighting for playoff positioning.

Reaves has been unstoppable recently, and he was able to add another 30-point performance on Thursday, which was his third over the past two weeks. It is worth noting that he tweaked his ankle in a second-straight game, but he was able to return to close out the game. He took advantage of an opportunity to be the hero twice late in the fourth quarter; he extended the Lakers’ lead to five with a pair of free throws and hit a layup with with three second left to give them the lead back. Unfortunately, his night was spoiled by some magical moments from Josh Giddey.

What a night it was for Giddey. Chicago has played the Lakers twice in their last three games, and Giddey has recorded a triple-double in both. He helped them storm back from an 18-point deficit early in the fourth, but he airballed a floater with 12 seconds left, which allowed the Lakers to take a five-point lead after a pair of free throws. However, a well-drawn play from Billy Donovan and a steal from Giddey allowed them to quickly take a lead with a pair of three-pointers. Giddey still had to put together one more magical moment after an Austin Reaves layup, and he was able to drill a shot from halfcourt over LeBron James at the buzzer to give Chicago the win. Giddey ranks in the top ten in nine-cat over the past two months and has truly bounced back after a disastrous final season in Oklahoma City.

While this transaction does not impact fantasy basketball, as Goodwin was already in the Lakers’ rotation, it does affect the NBA Playoffs. Two-way contract players are not eligible for the postseason, so addressing Goodwin’s status means he will be available.

After coming off the bench in his first two games back from the knee injury that sidelined him for nearly one month, Hachimura returned to the starting lineup on Wednesday. Still under a minutes restriction, Rui played 28 minutes and only attempted five shots from the field. However, he made two critical fourth-quarter three-pointers and was 4-of-4 from beyond the arc. Due to Hachimura’s minutes restriction, Dorian Finney-Smith (11/3/1/2/1 with three three-pointers) logged 31 minutes despite coming off the bench. The Lakers visit the Bulls on Thursday, which could result in a return to the starting lineup for Finney-Smith. Hachimura should be considered questionable.

James’ streak of 1,252 straight games in double figures was in jeopardy, as he entered the fourth quarter of Wednesday’s game without a made field goal. He made four during the final frame, with the last being a tip-in as time expired to give the Lakers the win. LeBron has shot 43.5 percent from the field over the past two weeks, a reason why his fantasy value has decreased. However, as he said during his postgame interview, James is good enough to be impactful even if his shot isn’t falling. Thursday’s game against the Bulls will be his first back-to-back since returning from a strained groin, so fantasy managers should consider LeBron questionable.

Reaves has now scored 22 points or more in seven of his last eight outings, with Monday’s loss to Orlando being the exception. Over the past two weeks, he has been one of two Lakers offering first-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, joining Luka Doncic. Regardless of the availability of Luka and LeBron James, Reaves continues to provide excellent fantasy value. The Lakers play two more games during Week 21, starting with the Bulls on Thursday.

Defensive lapses aside, Doncic finished Wednesday’s victory with a solid stat line. This was the third time in five games he’s only committed three turnovers, and the five-time All-Star finished one steal shy of a complete stat line. Over the past two weeks, Doncic has offered top-10 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, proving slightly more valuable in the former. However, with the Lakers visiting the Bulls on Thursday, Luka is not guaranteed to be available. He sat out the second game of the team’s most recent back-to-back on March 19-20.

The Bulls could be without two starters for Thursday’s game, as Giddey and Vucevic are questionable. Giddey needing to miss a game would likely result in more playing time for Dalen Terry, who has not been productive enough to merit being streamed in most leagues.

For the second time this month, Smith recorded a double-double in fewer than 20 minutes on the court. Stix only needed 15 minutes to get the job done in Denver, and his play factored into Zach Collins only playing four minutes. Starter Nikola Vucevic finished with 13 points, seven rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in 29 minutes. There isn’t a need to add Smith after this performance, especially with Vucevic still playing starters’ minutes.

Terry has reached double figures in four of his last six games, and the 14 points tallied on Monday were the most for him since February 24. However, this is not a good enough reason to justify adding him in any fantasy leagues. While Terry shot 4-of-4 from beyond the arc, reaching that number has not been the norm. Add in the lack of defensive stats, and there’s much more for Terry to do before he can be rostered.

Regarding fantasy value, the Bulls may have the hottest backcourt in the NBA over the past month. While Coby White has been a top-25 player, Giddey has been even better. Averaging 22.0 points, 9.9 rebounds, 9.5 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers per game, he’s ranked fourth in eight- and nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster.

On the day he joined Michael Jordan as the only two players in Bulls history to win consecutive Player of the Week awards, White continued his hot streak in Denver. He’s scored 35 points or more in three straight games and 20 or more in 13 straight. Over the past month, White has provided top 25 value in eight- and nine-cat formats.

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.

Finney-Smith has made at least three three-pointers in three of his last four outings, with Saturday’s loss to the Bulls being the exception.

Hachimura played 24 minutes on Monday, finishing with five points, three rebounds and one steal. Whether or not JJ Redick sticks with this lineup for the rest of the fantasy season remains to be seen, but deep-league managers who have Finney-Smith rostered should hold onto him for now.

While Doncic did not have a great night shooting the ball, he did keep the turnovers in check. After racking up 13 in his two prior appearances, the Lakers guard only had three on Monday. Over the past two weeks, Doncic has been a top-5 player in eight-cat formats and top-15 in nine-cat. The most significant concern for Luka managers during Week 21 is the Wednesday/Thursday back-to-back against the Pacers and Bulls. He has played both ends of one of the Lakers’ last three back-to-backs, so Doncic could only be available for two of the Lakers’ final three games of the week.

Appearing in a game for the first time since February 27, Hachimura was said to be on a limit of 20-24 minutes on Saturday. He only played 18, due partially to things getting out of hand in the Lakers’ 146-115 defeat. Hachimura did not provide much value in his time on the court, and his fantasy prospects aren’t as promising when used in a reserve role. Dorian Finney-Smith (2/2/1/1/1 in 21 minutes) has been the starter since Hachimura’s injury; while his fantasy ceiling is lower, DFS’s defensive ability makes him a solid fit in the Lakers’ starting lineup. Whether or not that remains the case once Rui’s restriction is lifted may be another matter, as he played well before the knee injury.

While LeBron recorded solid numbers in the rebound, assist and steals categories, he was also responsible for five turnovers. With the game getting out of hand during the fourth quarter, James exited with 6:42 remaining, finishing at 31 minutes.

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.

Doncic was excellent offensively when he shot the ball Saturday night. The issue was turnovers, as he racked up seven turnovers. The Lakers guard has been responsible for five or more in nine of his last 11 outings. However, this isn’t a significant issue in eight-cat formats or for managers willing to punt turnovers. Also, Doncic has been productive enough across the board to alleviate the impact of the turnovers, providing top-20 value in nine-cat formats during this 11-game stretch.
