Austin Reaves - Scores 23 in loss to Phoenix Reaves notched 23 points (8-15 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Monday's 109-105 loss to the Suns.
Impact Reaves has reached the 20-point mark in two of his four outings this season, and coincidentally, both have come against the Suns. Firmly entrenched as the Lakers' best scoring weapon behind Anthony Davis and LeBron James, Reaves is enjoying a strong start to the campaign with averages of 19.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 5.3 assists per contest while shooting 48 percent from three-point range.
OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
LeBron James - Poor showing Monday James posted 11 points (3-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 109-105 loss to the Suns.
Impact James drilled a three-pointer late in the fourth quarter to keep his streak of games with at least 10 points alive -- a run that has stretched to 1,226 contests. It's worth noting James has failed to reach the 20-point mark in two of his first four appearances this season, and while he's still an above-average fantasy performer by a wide margin, there might be signs of age finally catching up to him in the scoring department, especially now that he's the second option on offense behind Anthony Davis.
OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Davis - Strong stat line in loss Monday Davis closed Monday's 109-105 loss to the Suns with 29 points (12-24 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 35 minutes.
Impact The fact that this 29-point output was Davis' lowest mark of the season goes to show just how dominant he's been for the Lakers in the early stages of the new campaign. The star big man has settled as the team's go-to threat on offense, even ahead of LeBron James, thanks to averages of 32.8 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.5 blocks per game to open the campaign.
