Making first career start Reaves is starting Friday's game against the Clippers, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.
Comes through with clutch three Reaves produced nine points (3-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 106-101 victory over the Jazz.
Impact Reaves wasn't particularly aggressive on offense for most of his 29 minutes, but he nailed perhaps the Lakers' biggest bucket of the game with less than 20 seconds remaining, draining a three-pointer off a LeBron James pass to give Los Angeles a four-point lead. Reaves has shown a knack for hitting big shots at times this season, though his overall production has been sporadic. The rookie is averaging 6.2 points, 2.6 boards and 1.3 assists over 21.3 minutes across 39 contests.

Quiet outing in win Reaves supplied nine points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and one block over 18 minutes during Saturday's 122-115 overtime win over the Knicks.
Impact With the return of LeBron James (knee), Reaves played fewer than 20 minutes for the first time over his last seven games. The rookie guard is averaging 5.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 21.3 minutes, but he doesn't offer much fantasy potential unless one of more of the Lakers' big three is sidelined.

Grabs eight boards Reaves totaled 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds and three assists in 28 minutes during Friday's 117-114 loss to the Hornets.
Impact With Anthony Davis (wrist), LeBron James (knee) and Malik Monk (groin) all sidelined Friday, Reaves attempted a career-high 12 field-goal attempts en route to his eighth double-digit scoring outing of the season. The 6-foot-5 rookie also grabbed a season-high eight rebounds during the loss. Reaves has garnered a sizable role off the bench, but his production hasn't been consistent enough to trust on a game-by-game basis. However, if the Lakers continue to deal with injuries to their stars, Reaves will likely be a primary beneficiary.

Posts career-best scoring total Reaves ended with 19 points (7-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and three rebounds in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 125-116 loss to the Kings.
Impact Reaves was one of only three Lakers to finish with double-digit scoring in the contest, joining LeBron James (34 points) and Malik Monk (22 points). The rookie's point total was the highest of his career, and he reached the mark largely from beyond the arc, where he knocked down four of seven tries. Reaves has been inconsistent at times and doesn't produce much in terms of peripheral stats, but the fact that he has earned valuable minutes and has enjoyed some strong performances, speaks volumes considering the minimal role he was expected to fill coming into the season.
