Austin Reaves News, Rumors, Updates - Los Angeles Lakers

Pours in 25 points Reaves supplied 25 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, five assists and three steals over 35 minutes during Thursday's 113-100 win over the Kings.

Impact Reaves recorded his third-highest scoring total of the season during the victory, and his prolific scoring is keeping D'Angelo Russell and Dalton Knecht on the bench. Coach JJ Redick's current choice to run with Max Christie at off-guard seems to benefit Reaves, who is a more seasoned scorer and far more consistent then Christie. A combo of Reaves and Knecht may become a more frequent occurrence in the future, which is a scheme that may curb Reaves' production somewhat.

Scores 19 points Sunday Reaves accumulated 19 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Sunday's 116-110 victory over the Grizzlies.

Impact Reaves finished just two assists away from posting a double-double in this tight win over Memphis, and he remains the Lakers' third-best option on offense behind Anthony Davis and LeBron James. That role should give Reaves a decent floor on most games, and he also delivers value in peripheral stats due to his two-way contributions. Reaves has scored over 18 points in the two games he's featured in since returning from a five-game absence to start December due to a pelvic injury.
