Grant was pushed to a reserve role this season for Portland, but that hasn’t limited his fantasy impact. In fact, he is having one of the best seasons of his career. He is shooting over 50 percent from the floor, which would be the best mark of his career and a huge step up after he shot 37.3 percent last season. He is also averaging a career-high for steals and three-pointers while scoring over 20 points per game. If Grant is content remaining a reserve, he can continue to thrive.

Despite dealing with calf soreness entering this game, Sharpe was able to start and set a new season-high for scoring. It has been a slow start to the year for Sharpe, but he is starting to figure things out; after shooting below 40 percent in each of his first four games, Sharpe has shot better than 40 percent in his last three. He’ll look to keep it going against the Thunder on Wednesday.

This was a strong performance for Avdija as he set a new season-high for scoring. He has gotten off to a strong start to the year, which was expected after how well he played late last season. Turnovers have plagued his value in nine-cat leagues, but he has been able to pour in the counting stats. He’ll look to keep it up against the Thunder on Wednesday, though that won’t be an easy matchup.

Smith signed a two-way deal with the Lakers in September after being waived by the Hornets two years after they drafted him in the first round. This was only his third appearance this season, but with Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves out on the second night of a back-to-back, Smith was able to take on a larger role, and he took advantage. He came up big late, scoring 10 points in the fourth quarter to help the Lakers win their fourth straight game. He may not play a consistent role when everyone is healthy, but he is worth stashing in dynasty formats.

When the Lakers played Portland earlier this season, Ayton was held to 16 points and eight rebounds in what ended up being one of their two losses this season. Since then, they’ve won four games in a row, and Ayton came up big in this one with a new season-high for points. This was Ayton’s best outing of the season, which was pivotal to the victory. Next up on the schedule is a matchup with Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs, which isn’t a favorable matchup for Ayton.

With Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves sidelined for the second leg of the Lakers’ back-to-back, Hachimura was one of the players that stepped up on offense. Hachimura had another efficient scoring night and set a new season-high for points. In fact, he has yet to make less than 50 percent of his shot attempts in a game this season. He won’t see the same volume most nights, but this was an excellent outing for him.

While the Lakers welcome back Ayton after a two-game absence, they will not have Luka Dončić or Austin Reaves for Monday’s game. They’re replaced in the lineup by Knecht and LaRavia, who will have some deep-league streaming value due to the Lakers’ limited rotation.

Sharpe was initially probable for Monday’s game, so the status upgrade was expected. However, the sore left calf limited him to 24 minutes in Friday’s win over Denver, so his workload may be somewhat limited despite starting. Jrue Holiday, Toumani Camara, Deni Avdija and Donovan Clingan complete the Trail Blazers’ starting five.

Reaves played 38 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Heat, and he joins Luka Dončić on the sideline for Monday’s game in Portland.

Jake LaRavia, however, is, especially after he played 35 minutes on Sunday.

Dončić will miss the second leg of the Lakers’ back-to-back, which opens up plenty of opportunity for the rest of the team, especially with Austin Reaves (groin) out as well.

Ayton, who experienced back spasms during Friday’s win over the Grizzlies, did not play in Sunday’s win over the Heat. He was replaced in the lineup by Jaxson Hayes, who made all seven of his shot attempts and finished with 15 points, seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and one three-pointer. He will be worth streaming if Ayton has to miss a second consecutive game.

Dončić was stellar in his second game back from a finger injury that had sidelined him for multiple games, this time logging his first triple-double of the season. The superstar guard led the Lakers in points and rebounds and finished second on the team in assists. He’s gotten off to an incredibly hot start to the season and has only been slowed by the finger injury. If he remains healthy, he’ll have a chance to record his best statistical season as an NBA player.

Reaves’ streak of games with at least 20 points extended to seven on Sunday, despite inefficient shooting from the field. The fifth-year guard also tallied his third game this season with double-digit assists, with his total on Sunday being enough to lead the Lakers in that category against the Heat. The former Oklahoma Sooner has been outstanding to begin the season and is showing no signs of slowing down. He’s enjoying the best season of his career by a large margin and has been one of the most productive guards in fantasy leagues to this point.

Less than a week removed from a season-high 27-point outing against the Grizzlies, LaRavia served up another efficient 25-point performance on Sunday. He missed just three shots on the night, tied a season-high in rebounds, and tallied a season-high in steals en route to one of his more balanced offensive showings of the year. LaRavia is averaging 21.7 points and 7.0 rebounds over the last three games, and appears to be finding his groove in this Lakers offense.

The Lakers are without Deandre Ayton, who will sit due to back spasms. Hayes has replaced him in the starting lineup, but he offers a limited fantasy ceiling when thrust into this role. At best, Hayes is worth streaming for managers hoping for a “Hail Mary” in the field-goal percentage category. The Lakers’ other four starters are unchanged from Friday’s win over the Grizzlies.

Sharpe has been dealing with a sore left calf recently, which limited him to 24 minutes in Friday’s win over the Nuggets. While the probable tag suggests he’ll be available, Sharpe may not take on his usual workload. Kris Murray’s playing time has increased; he played 29 minutes against Denver. Murray isn’t a must-stream, but he’s worth watching if Sharpe aggravates his calf injury.

Ayton was downgraded from questionable to out ahead of Sunday’s matchup against Miami after experiencing back pain on Friday against Memphis.

Wesley suffered the injury during the first half of Friday’s win over the Nuggets, appearing to roll his right ankle at the time. Unfortunately, the injury is more severe than it seemed to be, and the Trail Blazers will provide a concrete return timeline at a later date. Wesley’s absence won’t impact fantasy basketball, but it does leave Portland down another guard with Scoot Henderson (hamstring) still out.

Ayton only played 17 minutes in Friday’s win over the Grizzlies due to back spasms. However, head coach JJ Redick said afterward that the limited playing time was for precautionary reasons, and the 7-footer could have gone back into the game if needed.

Ayton experienced back spasms during Friday’s game, which limited him to 17 minutes. Lakers head coach JJ Redick said afterward that the 7-footer could have returned, but the team did not want to risk anything, given the time Ayton (nine points) missed last season. Jaxson Hayes started the second half and finished with two points, seven rebounds, five assists and one blocked shot in 23 minutes.

Sharpe is still looking for his first 20-point game of the season, but he probably had his best game of the year so far against the Nuggets on Friday. The 22-year-old shooting guard had 19 points on 14 shots including three made three-pointers. Sharpe played just 24 minutes as he was still dealing with a calf injury.

Reaves had scored 120 points over his last three games without Luke Doncic available. Doncic was back on Friday, though, and Reaves took a backseat to the superstar once again. Doncic topped 40 points as he has in all three games he’s played this year and Reaves has 72 points combined in those games. Reaves is a solid scorer who happens to turn into the Incredible Hulk whenever the Lakers are without both Doncic and LeBron James.

Williams is available to make his first appearance of the 2025-26 season. According to acting head coach Tiago Splitter, the Time Lord will be under a minutes restriction.

While Avdija’s final stat line was solid, there were issues. He missed all five of his three-point attempts, but the six turnovers were more concerning, especially for managers in nine-cat leagues. Thus far, Avdija’s averaging 3.8 turnovers per game, which is why he’s only a top-75 player currently. However, punt the turnovers and he’s providing top-50 value. The decision to start Avdija over Jerami Grant (18/3/1/2 with three three-pointers in 25 minutes) has benefited both parties, with the latter surprisingly being a third-round player in nine-cat formats.
