For just the second time this season and the first since November 27, James did not attempt a free throw in Sunday’s game. However, he was efficient, shooting over 50 percent from the field and committing just two turnovers in the Lakers’ 126-99 victory. Over the past two weeks, James has provided top-25 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, unsurprising production for the future Hall of Fame forward. The Lakers play four games for managers whose leagues will be active during Week 23, starting with the Thunder on Tuesday.

The Lakers finished Sunday’s victory with six double-digit scorers, including Reaves. He’s scored at least 20 points in three straight games and six of his last seven. Over the past two weeks, Reaves has provided top-20 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Managers in leagues that will be active next week who have him rostered will be pleased that the Lakers play four games during Week 23. They begin their final week of the regular season with a rematch with Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Doncic continues to take better care of the basketball, committing only two turnovers in Saturday’s 126-99 victory. Add in the efficient shooting, and this was one of his better all-around performances since joining the Lakers in February. The good news for Doncic managers whose leagues run through Week 23 is that the Lakers still have seeding to play for, so availability should not be an issue for him. Los Angeles plays four games, starting with the Thunder on Tuesday.

James has played a ton of minutes since returning from injury and will suit up against the best team in the Western Conference. He was held to just 12 points in his first meeting with the Thunder this season.

Edey surpassed 20 rebounds in a game for the first time this season, making up for a subpar scoring night. In addition to the 21 rebounds, the rookie recorded six assists, which was also a season-high. Over the past two weeks, Edey has provided sixth-round value in nine-cat formats and seventh-round value in eight-cat. The Grizzlies end the regular season with a four-game Week 23, starting with the Hornets on Tuesday.

Bane continues to offer even greater value to fantasy managers when the Grizzlies are without Ja Morant, who was scratched just prior to tip-off with an illness. Bane went on to shoot over 50 percent from the field and score a game-high 38 points. The point total is the highest for him since March 17, when he put up 44 in a loss to the Kings. For Bane managers whose leagues run through Week 23, the Grizzlies play four games, starting with the lowly Hornets on Tuesday.

The Grizzlies played Saturday’s game without Ja Morant, who was a late scratch due to illness. Jackson took on more of the offensive workload, and while the field-goal percentage wasn’t great, the overall stat line was solid. The double-double was Jackson’s second in four games and sixth of the season, and the rebound category is where fantasy managers will want to see more production in 2025-26. Unless Jackson goes on an absolute tear next week, he’ll average fewer than six rebounds per game for the second straight season. If there is improvement in that category, Trip will likely boast a higher fantasy floor than he currently does.

As has been the case recently, the Lakers have listed James as probable on the initial injury report. Given the importance of Sunday’s game, fantasy managers can safely assume LeBron will play. As for Bronny, he’s been removed from the injury report but is not likely to log rotation minutes.

Morant is a late addition to the injury report, as the Grizzlies initially announced him as a starter. If he cannot play, Scotty Pippen Jr. or Luke Kennard will move into the starting lineup. Pippen offers a higher fantasy ceiling as a starter, while Kennard’s promotion would increase Desmond Bane’s value.

LeBron had 27 points on 17 shots including two made three-pointers in 33 minutes on the second night of a back-to-back. The 40-year-old small forward continues to defy NBA history as he’s done his entire career. The Lakers have the day off Saturday before a primetime matchup with the Thunder on Sunday and you can expect LeBron to show out as he always does.

Reaves has had back-to-back games with at least 30 points buoyed by magnificent three-point shooting efforts. He’s 15-of-25 from behind the three-point line over the last two nights. The 26-year-old shooting guard now has at least 30 points in four of his last five games. Reaves has provided third-round fantasy value on the season, but he’s been even better lately. He’s peaking at the right time for fantasy managers.

Doncic’s 35 points were the most he’s had in a game since dropping 45 points on the Bucks on March 13. The 26-year-old point guard went 10-of-21 from the field including four made three-pointers, but also got the foul line 11 times and made all of his free throw attempts. Doncic only turned the ball over twice and hasn’t had more than three turnovers in a game his last seven times out on the court. He’s closing the season on a high note after a rocky middle of the season that included an injury and trade to the Lakers.

While it was mentioned last week that Hachimura would be available for future back-to-backs after sitting out a March 27 loss to the Bulls, that is not the case. He will not play against the Pelicans, likely resulting in Dorian Finney-Smith moving into the starting lineup. Finney-Smith hasn’t been an elite fantasy option, but he’s worth streaming in deep leagues when allowed to start.

Reaves’ breakout season continued on Thursday, and he added another milestone to his special year. Though it wasn’t enough for the Lakers to get the win, Reaves set a new career-high for three-pointers made in a game. He only had 12 points in their last game against Houston, but Reaves has now scored at least 30 points in three of the Lakers’ last four games. Over the course of the season, he has provided third-round value in nine-cat leagues and has been a first-rounder of the past two months. He will be an intriguing player heading into fantasy drafts next season.

After missing almost a month of games, it has taken Hachimura some time to get back on track. Thursday’s game was a good step as he had his highest-scoring performance since before the All-Star break. Hachimura has been a solid scoring option for the Lakers this season and has been able to maintain the starting job for most of the year. He doesn’t contribute value in many categories, but the points and efficiency have allowed him to be a decent fantasy option for most of the year.

James has had a few quieter scoring performances recently, but Thursday ended up being his highest-scoring game in nearly a month. It didn’t start out well, but LeBron scored 25 of his 33 points after halftime, though it didn’t end up being enough for the Lakers to get the win. The loss dropped them to fourth in the West, and they hold a one-game lead over Golden State heading into a matchup with the Pelicans on Friday. After that, they’ll wrap up the week in Oklahoma City on Sunday in a tough matchup.

Edey has now collected at least 11 rebounds in three of his last four games. Despite inconsistent playing time, the 22-year-old rookie center from Purdue is a rebounding machine when he’s out there. Edey has provided sixth-round fantasy value over the past two weeks as he’s also an excellent shot blocker.

Bane struggled on the offensive end with 17 points on 23 attempts from the field. The 26-year-old shooting guard was just 1-of-9 from behind the three-point line. It’s the third time in his last five games that he’s made only one three-point attempt. While Bane’s scoring production has been a little inconsistent lately, fantasy managers can take solace that the Grizzlies have a fourth game this week Saturday against the short-handed Pistons.

Morant had at least 30 points for the second-straight game as he seems to be all the way back from his hamstring injury. He made at least 50 percent of his shots from the field for the third-straight game and is 35-of-64 over his last three games. The 25-year-old point guard appears to be excelling in the aftermath of Taylor Jenkins’ firing and under the tutelage of interim coach Tuomas Iisalo.

James has been upgraded from probable and will suit up in a battle that will have a large impact on the standings out West. The Lakers are currently in third place and only have a two-game lead over the Warriors, who are fifth in the West and hold just a half-game lead over seeds six, seven and eight. The battle for seeding is going to be an exciting one over the final 10 days of the regular season.

Kleber, who had surgery to repair a right foot fracture days before being traded to the Lakers, is inching closer to making his debut for Los Angeles.

After scoring 21 points and recording a solid stat line in Monday’s loss to the Celtics, Aldama was also solid in Tuesday’s loss to Golden State. This was a needed two-game stretch for the fourth-year forward, who is ranked outside the top 150 in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Rostered in 43 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Aldama has been a 10th-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats this season. Unfortunately, the production dipped at the wrong time for those who have relied on him for consistent late-round value.

While Bane’s scoring output has been slightly inconsistent recently, he has still provided sixth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. The 1-of-12 night against Oklahoma City damaged his field goal percentage, with Bane making 44.2 percent of his attempts. However, Bane’s other numbers have been solid, preserving his overall value to category league managers. The good news for Bane managers is that Memphis plays two more games during Week 22, starting with Miami on Thursday.

Jackson exited with 1:55 remaining in the fourth quarter and the Grizzlies trailing by one, 123-122. Memphis would only score three more points the rest of the way, as no one could contribute with the Warriors taking away Ja Morant and Desmond Bane. Over the past two weeks, Jackson has provided fifth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, two rounds worse than his season-long production. One difference has been the field goal percentage, with Trip shooting 43.5 percent over the past two weeks. Fantasy managers hope he’ll clean that up during the Grizzlies’ final two games of Week 22.

Wednesday’s point total was Morant’s best since returning from a hamstring injury, and he shot over 50 percent from the field. While much was made of the Grizzlies’ offensive system in the aftermath of Taylor Jenkins’s firing, the team appeared to run more pick-and-roll actions for Morant on Tuesday than they have for most of this season. The staff changes made before the season were meant to install an offense with more ball movement, with current interim coach Tuomas Iisalo among those hires. While that did happen, Memphis’s usage of two-man actions is something to watch for the rest of this season.

LeBron didn’t have a huge scoring game, though he hit some clutch free throws to put the game away for the Lakers in the final minute. The 40-year-old small forward added two three-pointers. Since returning from a groin injury, James has struggled a bit in shooting 43 percent from the field against 51 percent on the season. But he just adds so much value in other areas that he’s still returning sixth-round value in nine-cat leagues over the last two weeks. LeBron’s legacy is already cemented as one of the greatest players of all-time, but with his production at this stage of his career, he’s become one of the best “old” players in the history of sports.

Doncic’s three-point shot has been off lately as he’s 7-of-28 from behind the three-point line over his last three games. It’s a testament to his typical usage that he’s still managed to score at least 20 points in all three of those games. The 26-year-old point guard was just four rebounds and one assist away from a triple-double against the Rockets Monday. Doncic hasn’t committed more than three turnovers in a game in any of his last five games. He’ll break out of his three-point slump, but the lower turnover numbers are a legitimate positive trend.

Aldama has been solid all season, but the production has been quieter in recent months when compared to his early-season numbers. Monday’s performance was his highest-scoring night since February 2, which was a 23-point night in a win. That is something Memphis hasn’t done much of recently as they lost for the sixth time in their last seven games on Monday. Aldama has been a reliable reserve for them, but it’s hard to count on him for this level of production. He ranks outside the top-200 in nine-cat leagues over the past two weeks.

Morant was once again able to turn in a strong stat line in his second game back after missing six games with a hamstring injury. The last time Morant scored less than 20 points in a game was February 20, which was the Grizzlies’ first game after the All-Star break. Availability has once again been an issue for Morant this season, but he hasn’t had any issues pouring in the points when he’s on the floor. This was the first night of a back-to-back, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Morant didn’t play against the Warriors on Tuesday. Keep an eye on the injury report, though that game is far more important for the playoff race out West, so it would be surprising if they opted to rest him against Golden State and play him against Boston.

The most notable flaw in Jackson Jr.'s game is his lack of rebounding production, but that wasn’t the case on Monday. Though it wasn’t enough to get the win, JJJ set a new career-high for rebounds, eclipsing his previous best mark of 13, which he has done twice over the last two seasons.

Memphis still has three more games this week, including the second night of a back-to-back against the Warriors on Tuesday.

Morant returned to the Grizzlies’ lineup on Saturday after missing six games with a hamstring injury. He did so while playing for a new head coach, with Toumas Iisalo grabbing the reins on an interim basis, after Taylor Jenkins was fired earlier this week after six seasons at the helm. The point guard’s efficiency wasn’t great, as he shot 9-of-23 from the field, but 10 assists countered his four turnovers. When healthy, Morant has been a superior option in eight-cat formats and team builds in which turnovers are punted. Memphis’s four-game Week 22 includes a Monday/Tuesday back-to-back, so there may be another opportunity for Scotty Pippen Jr. to start. Pippen played 23 minutes off the bench against the Lakers, finishing with 16 points, three rebounds, five assists, one steal and three three-pointers.

Edey reached double digits in rebounds for the 15th time this season and first since March 9. That was also the last time the rookie recorded a double-double, moving his tally to 10 on the season. While Edey has offered sixth-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks, five of six games were played without Ja Morant. Morant returned to the lineup on Saturday, and the 7-foot-4 rookie produced an excellent stat line. That’s encouraging for those who have Edey rostered, especially with the Grizzlies playing four games during Week 22.

Jackson shot the ball well on Saturday, scoring 23 points or more in three of his last four games. However, the overall stat line was lacking, especially in the rebound department. He’s grabbed five rebounds or less in six straight games, which has factored into JJJ only being a top 75 player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Sharing the court with Zach Edey doesn’t help, but fantasy managers are likely hoping for more rebound production from Jackson during Week 22.

Ja Morant returning to the lineup on Saturday likely helped boost Bane’s efficiency, but he is shooting 48.4 percent from the field for the season.

There was concern for some fantasy managers that Reaves would be adversely impacted by LeBron James’ return to the Lakers’ lineup after missing two weeks with a strained groin. This type of performance alleviates those worries as Reaves continues to provide excellent fantasy value, even with James back in the mix. Reaves has provided second-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats since LeBron’s return, and he’s scored 30 points or more in consecutive games for the first time this season. With all the attention opposing defenses must devote to James and Luka Doncic, things have opened up for Reaves, and he’s taken advantage. The Lakers play four games during Week 22, starting with the Rockets on Monday.

Over the past two weeks, Doncic has provided top-5 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. While the eight-cat production is unsurprising, Luka’s keeping the turnovers in check has boosted his value in the latter. Averaging 3.8 turnovers per game over the past two weeks, he’s had three or less in four consecutive games, which is his longest streak of the season. If Doncic can continue this trend, fantasy managers looking to close out Week 22 with a league championship will be in an excellent place if they have him rostered.

It was James’ best performance since returning from a groin injury that sidelined him for two weeks. The 40-year-old recorded a complete stat line in Memphis while shooting a shade under 50 percent from the field. A 43.7 percent shooter from the field, James has been a fifth-round player in eight-cat formats over his last five games. That certainly isn’t terrible, but it is a decrease for someone who has ranked just outside the first round in 12-team formats for most of this season. The Lakers play four games during Week 22, starting with the Rockets on Monday. However, a Thursday/Friday back-to-back against the Warriors and Pelicans will be worth watching when it comes to LeBron’s availability.
