In what was a bad loss for the Lakers, LaRavia, who remained a starter in place of Austin Reaves (groin), was able to have a solid night. LaRavia has been productive as a starter this season, and he’ll continue to play a large role for Los Angeles for the rest of the year. Prior to the game, head coach JJ Redick said that Reaves is expected to be back on this five-game road trip, with this game in Atlanta kicking that off. If Reaves remains out in Charlotte on Monday, LaRavia should get another start, but his time in that role is likely running out.

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.

LaRavia signed a two-year, $12 million deal with the Lakers this past offseason. The 23-year-old small forward became the first Laker since Pau Gasol to have at least 25 points and at least a 90 percent field goal percentage. LaRavia has averaged 6.9 point per game in his four-year career, but if he has more games like this it’ll go down as an underrated signing.

With Gabe Vincent (ankle) and Marcus Smart (quad) sidelined, LaRavia will get his first start as a Laker, and Vanderbilt will get his first start of the season. Vanderbilt should provide strong defense, but LaRavia has more upside to contribute in the box score.

LaRavia hit 5-of-10 shots in this one and had a minimal impact on the defensive end, making this a disappointing performance. Perhaps he can occasionally provide a few points for LA off the bench this season, but he’s unlikely to see enough playing time or usage to be worth rostering outside of deep fantasy basketball leagues.

LaRavia’s deal is fully guaranteed, according to Charania. The 23-year-old small forward averaged 6.1 points per game, 2.8 rebounds per game and 1.3 assists per game in 19 games with the Kings last season after coming over from the Grizzlies in a trade. LaRavia is ticketed to remain in a bench role with the Lakers.

LaRavia has been out since March 25 with an incomplete scaphoid fracture of his left thumb, and he will not be available for Wednesday’s Play-In tournament game. Trey Lyles’s playing time has increased substantially, and that should remain the case against the Mavericks. The Kings will be without two crucial reserves, as Malik Monk (calf) is also out.

LaRavia has not played since March 25 and should be re-evaluated early next week. His absence does not significantly impact fantasy basketball, as the Kings’ starters have absorbed most of his minutes.

This has LaRavia being re-evaluated between April 4-7, which means he will miss at least three more games. Trey Lyles and Devin Carter should continue to take on extra minutes off the bench with LaRavia sidelined.

LaRavia will miss Thursday’s game with a sore left thumb, freeing up rotation minutes among the Kings’ bench players. Look for Trey Lyles to pick up additional minutes, but he’s difficult to rely on in most fantasy leagues. Devin Carter is available and may absorb a few of those minutes, but the rookie will unlikely impact fantasy basketball.

While LaRavia and Carter were active for Tuesday’s loss to the Thunder, the latter only logged three minutes despite the Kings not having Malik Monk. LaRavia has played consistent rotation minutes, but making a dent in fantasy leagues behind Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan has been difficult.

LaRavia will be back after a one-game absence, and he should continue to be an important option off the bench with Domantas Sabonis sidelined. His return may cut into Trey Lyles’ role after Lyles played 30 minutes on Wednesday.

LaRavia is in danger of missing a second-straight game with an illness. The Kings wing has popped in a handful of games with Sacramento and his absence could lead to more minutes for Trey Lyles again.

While LaRavia has not been much of a fantasy asset since joining the Kings, his absence means the Kings will be without three rotation players with Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine also ruled out. Trey Lyles should play more minutes off the bench, while Devin Carter may also pick up a few more.

LaRavia was added to the Kings’ injury report late, which doesn’t bode well for his availability. If he cannot play against the Cavaliers, Trey Lyles will take on additional minutes off the bench. Devin Carter may also play more, as the Kings are already without Zach LaVine (personal).

LaRavia has been a larger part of Sacramento’s recent rotation than Crowder, but neither player has been able to contribute significant fantasy value this season. Devin Carter and Trey Lyles may take on a few extra minutes with the reserve forward pair sidelined.

LaRavia is on the Kings’ injury report after logging 31 minutes in Sunday’s overtime loss to the Clippers. Malik Monk’s return could counter his potential absence, so LaRavia sitting would not significantly impact fantasy basketball. LaRavia is not a player who should be rostered in most fantasy leagues.
