Dončić is away from the Lakers for personal reasons, and Thursday’s game is the first of three that they’ll play on their upcoming road trip. What his absence means for games against Boston and Philadelphia is unknown, but it leaves a massive hole in the Lakers’ lineup. LeBron James and Austin Reaves will see their usage rates increase, which is especially important for the former, given his production in Monday’s loss to the Suns. As for the spot in the starting lineup, Gabe Vincent is the most likely replacement.

Smart has missed the last three games with a lower back injury. The 31-year-old shooting guard will sit out again Thursday for injury management reasons. Gabe Vincent could see extra minutes with Smart out, but won’t be viable in fantasy basketball.

Haynes’ initial report said the Clippers were “severing ties” with Paul, and the team released a statement confirming that. Paul also posted on Instagram at 2:40 a.m. in Atlanta, where the Clippers are playing on Wednesday, that he is being sent home. Paul announced previously that this would be his final season, so this could give him an opportunity to join a contending team to close out his career. That was likely the idea with the Clippers, along with Paul enjoying some of the best seasons of his career with them, but the team has started off 5-16. CP3 has played a small reserve role this year, so his departure may open up a few minutes for Kris Dunn and Cam Christie, but it won’t significantly alter the rotation.

This will be a seventh straight absence for Bogdanović, and there isn’t much clarity as to how much longer he’ll be out. Kobe Sanders played 26 minutes on Monday, though his role has been inconsistent. Nicolas Batum has also taken on extra minutes with Bogdanović out.

Reaves finished with fewer than 20 points on Monday for just the second time this season. He was efficient both inside and outside the arc, but low volume kept his production down. He also committed five turnovers in his 33 minutes of game action, which was more than the handful of assists he produced. The Suns held several key Lakers in check and ended Los Angeles’ seven-game winning streak. Reaves will have a chance to bounce back on Thursday against the Raptors.

James was one of several key Lakers who couldn’t get going on the offensive end on Monday. He took only 10 shots, had his most inefficient shooting performance thus far, and recorded a season-low in points as a result. The versatile forward had little impact in another area of the game — he failed to grab a rebound, only produced a few assists, and didn’t register any stocks for the game. Overall, it was a forgettable performance from both the Lakers and James. He’ll look to turn the page and bounce back against the Raptors on Thursday.

Dončić was the only Laker to score north of 20 points on Monday, as he more than doubled the next highest-scoring teammate, Austin Reaves, who finished with 16 points. He also led the Lakers in rebounding and finished the game one turnover shy of double digits. The extreme positives surely outweigh the negatives from a fantasy standpoint, as the superstar guard continues to put up the best statistical season of his young career. He’ll have a chance to log his eighth 30-point game in a row against the Raptors on Thursday.

Finishing as a +8 in 30 minutes in a game your team loses by 17 is impressive. Leonard was able to have an excellent night, though 19 of his points came in the fourth quarter, when the game was practically already decided. It has been a rough season for the Clippers, but Leonard has still been really productive. He’ll look to help them end their losing streak in Atlanta on Wednesday.

Zubac was once again a bright spot in a loss for the Clippers. They’ve lost five straight, and he has grabbed double-digit rebounds in each game. Zubac’s production has only dropped slightly from last season, and he’ll continue to consistently produce, even if things aren’t going well in LA. Next up is Atlanta on Wednesday, and they’re one of the worst rebounding teams in the league.

Harden struggled in this game and didn’t end up getting an opportunity to step up in the second half. Clippers coach Tyronn Lue subbed him out a little over a minute into the third quarter, and he didn’t check back in. Harden has been a bright spot in a rough season for the Clippers, but this was the opposite; they were outscored by 39 points in a 17-point loss during his 20 minutes on the floor. Harden will look to get back on track in Atlanta on Wednesday.

James (foot) will return from a one-game absence and re-enter the Lakers’ starting lineup as they take on the Suns on the second night of a back-to-back. The Lakers currently hold a 15-4 record and find themselves in second place in the Western Conference. They’ve won seven straight and have a chance to extend their streak to eight games with a win on Monday.

Ayton, who missed the Lakers’ November 25 win over the Clippers with a right knee injury, may have aggravated the injury during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s victory. He banged knees with Derik Queen, and while Ayton returned to the game after the first timeout called to get him off the floor, he didn’t last long before needing to ask for a sub. With the Suns hosting the Suns on Monday, this could be a spot where Jaxson Hayes (8/6/2/0/2 in 21 minutes) receives the starting nod, with Ayton getting the night off. However, Ayton did not sound concerned about the injury while in the locker room after the win, which may bode well for his availability for Monday night.

Reaves and Luka Dončić combined to score 67 points on Sunday, and they also shot 23-of-26 from the foul line. Reaves has scored 30 points or more in three straight outings, his most consistent run of the season to date. The lone concern in the short term is the Lakers’ schedule, as they play the second game of a back-to-back on Monday and will have another one later in Week 7. Reaves did play both games of the team’s most recent back-to-back, so there may not be a reason for fantasy managers to worry.

The Pelicans could not find an answer for Dončić or Austin Reaves, and that has been the case for many teams this season. The tandem combined to score 67 points, more than shouldering the load as the Lakers played without LeBron James. Dončić has scored at least 33 points in six consecutive games, one reason why he has been the top-ranked player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. The Lakers play four games in Week 7, starting with the Suns on Monday, and they’ve got another back-to-back to navigate later in the week.

Given his injury history since joining the Clippers, Leonard’s playing both games of a back-to-back is encouraging. After logging 29 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies, he matched that number on Saturday and recorded another 30-point game. The Clippers’ four-game Week 7 concludes with another back-to-back, so fantasy managers won’t have to wait long to see if Leonard’s days of sitting out back-to-backs have come to an end (for now).

After failing to hit double figures in scoring for the first time since November 4 in Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies, Zubac began a new streak on Saturday. The double-double was his 12th of the season, and the playing time remains high. Zubac has played at least 32 minutes in four straight and nine of his last ten games. The concern after Saturday’s game was the collision with Dallas’ Dwight Powell, which caused Zubac to hit the back of his head on the court. He stayed in the game, but with the Clippers visiting Miami on Monday, we’ll have to see whether the 7-footer’s name appears on the injury report.

Harden recorded his second double-double in as many nights on Saturday, but the efficiency was missing. In addition to the poor shooting from the field, The Beard was responsible for seven of the Clippers’ 18 turnovers. Harden has only been a top-75 player over the last week, and the average of five turnovers per game has a lot to do with that. That said, fantasy managers know what they’re getting into when they roster Harden. The Clippers play four games in Week 7.

Still rostered in 77 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Collins has not offered much fantasy value this season. That changed on Saturday, as the veteran forward tallied season-highs in points and blocked shots. Getting to start does raise Collins’ ceiling, but he hasn’t reached it very often. He has been a top-100 player in nine-cat formats over the past week; fantasy managers will hope that trend continues. The Clippers hit the road for four games in Week 7, starting with the Heat on Monday.

Due to back spasms, Smart did not play in Friday’s win over the Mavericks. With the doubtful tag, it appears likely that he’ll miss a second straight game.

The good news is that LeBron’s injury is a matter of left foot injury management, as Sunday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Lakers.

After scoring 25 points in Tuesday’s win over the Clippers, LeBron took a back seat to Austin Reaves and Luka Dončić on Friday, as they combined to score 73 points. However, he still provided solid value in rebounds, assists and three-pointers as the Lakers finished NBA Cup group play undefeated. The explicit goal for LeBron and the Lakers is to ensure he’s healthy for the stretch run, and they can afford to take that approach with Dončić, Reaves and Deandre Ayton on the roster. While that may lower James’ fantasy ceiling, his floor will be fine.

Ayton appears to be getting more comfortable with his new teammates and what’s required of him on a game-by-game basis. He finished Friday’s win two rebounds shy of a double-double, but fantasy managers received a complete stat line from the 7-footer. So far, Ayton’s fit with the Lakers has been good, and LeBron James’ move into the starting lineup has not done severe damage to the center’s fantasy value.

Dončić has scored at least 33 points in five straight games, and he finished Friday’s victory with his 11th double-double of the season. Over the past two weeks, he sits atop the fantasy rankings in eight- and nine-cat formats. While players like Nikola Jokić and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander boast higher season-long values, no one is on the roll that Dončić is currently on.

The tandem of Reaves and Luka Dončić took over on Friday, as they combined to score 73 points on 22-of-33 shooting from the field. The former has scored at least 30 points in five games this season, halfway to his total for the entire 2024-25 campaign. Also, Reaves’ 38 points were the most he’s scored in a game since October 27, when he dropped 41 against the Trail Blazers.

Zubac’s streak of double-digit scoring efforts ended at 11 on Friday, as he struggled to get clean looks with Memphis’ Zach Edey on the floor. However, he did hit double figures in rebounds for the seventh time in his last eight games. Just as important has been the playing time, with Zubac averaging 34.0 minutes per game over the last two weeks. If that continues, his chances of making good on the preseason Yahoo! ADP (36) will improve.

Harden recorded his seventh double-double of the season on Friday, but the field-goal percentage will leave some fantasy managers disappointed.

Leonard had his best game of the season on Friday, but he did not get much help, especially after halftime. While he scored 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting in the second half, Kawhi’s teammates combined for 23 points on 8-of-30 shooting. Leonard only played 29 minutes on Friday, a reminder that he doesn’t need to play starters’ minutes to have a significant impact on fantasy basketball. Leonard said after the loss that he will play against the Mavericks on Saturday, but consider him to be questionable anyway.

After playing 26 minutes in his first game back from foot and ankle injuries that sidelined him for nearly three weeks, Leonard’s playing time received a slight bump on Tuesday. He finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line and is providing top-10 value in nine-cat formats. Production has not been Leonard’s issue, but availability has.

Offensively, Tuesday’s performance was Collins’s best since moving into the starting lineup on November 10. The 18 points were one shy of his season-high, and he ended a nasty streak in the assist category. His assist against the Lakers was the first for Collins since moving into the starting lineup, a stunning lack of production, even if he isn’t a point guard. Collins is still rostered in 77 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is more about his reputation entering the season than his production. Hopefully, Tuesday’s performance will be the catalyst the veteran forward needs.

As expected, Harden once again led the way offensively for the Clippers. While all five starters finished in double figures, there were no other 20-point scorers as the Clippers fell to 5-13. The only negative for Harden right now is the turnover category. He recorded five turnovers on Tuesday and is averaging 3.8 per game on the season. However, despite that high number, he’s still providing first-round value in 12-team formats. The Clippers end Week 6 with a Friday/Saturday back-to-back.

For anyone concerned that Reaves’ production could take a significant hit in the aftermath of LeBron James’ return from injury, these three games should alleviate those concerns. Reaves has scored at least 30 points in four games, and he’s tallied 26, 22 and 31 in the three games that the Lakers’ “big three” have been available for.

James’ point total has increased in each game he’s played this season. He recorded his first 20-point game on Tuesday, doing so on good percentages from the field and the foul line.

The Lakers finish Week 6 with games on Friday and Sunday.

Dončić put on a show Tuesday night, finishing one rebound shy of a triple-double. He’s recorded five 40-point games this season, one more than his tally for the entire 2024-25 campaign.

That should remain the case for the entire season. With Tuesday’s victory, the Lakers have qualified for the NBA Cup quarterfinals.

He finished two rebounds shy of a 30/20 game while posting excellent percentages from the field and the foul line. Zubac did not record any defensive stats, but he began Sunday averaging 0.5 steals and 0.9 blocks per game, so that wasn’t too surprising.
