MALIK BEASLEY NEWS

Gets starting nod Beasley is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Impact Beasley will replace Dennis Schroder in the starting five Wednesday. He is averaging 13.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 18.5 minutes across his two games with the Lakers.

Shines off bench Monday Beasley supplied 22 points (8-16 FG, 6-12 3Pt), two rebounds, two steals and one assist across 21 minutes during Monday's 127-115 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact The Lakers traded for Beasley last week primarily to fill their need for a three-point shooter, and he followed through Monday with a team-high six triples on 12 attempts. Beasley's hot hand helped him pace the team in scoring, though it wasn't nearly enough to prevent Los Angeles from a blowout loss. The veteran guard's performance highlighted what he can do when he gets hot, though his debut with the Lakers -- during which he scored just four points on 2-for-9 shooting -- serves as a reminder that Beasley is prone to inconsistency.

Impact Desperate for three-point shooting and quality depth, the Lakers traded for Beasley in the three-team deal involving the Timberwolves and Jazz. There's a strong chance he starts for his new team, though he'll compete against Austin Reaves for that spot. Both should see plenty of action either way. Beasley has made at least 3.0 threes per game over the past three seasons, and he's drilling 3.1 on 35.9 percent this year. It's fair to expect that percentage to rise, given the number of open looks he should get playing alongside LeBron James. Fantasy managers rostering Beasley should wait and see what his role becomes, but if you've been rostering him for this long, there's a good chance you can hang on a bit longer.

Out Thursday, targeting Saturday Beasley will not play Thursday against Milwaukee but has a real possibility of playing Saturday, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Impact Beasley was shipped to Los Angeles on Wednesday along with D'Angelo Russell and Jarred Vanderbilt, all of whom will be unavailable for Thursday's tilt. After the Lakers' traded Patrick Beverley to Orlando, Beasley appears to be the frontrunner to start at the two slot and could make his first appearance in purple and gold Saturday against the Warriors.

Traded to Lakers Beasley will not play in Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves and is set to join the Lakers after being part of a three-team trade, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact One of the top high-volume three-point shooters in the NBA this season, Beasley will be joined by Jarred Vanderbilt and D'Angelo Russell in Los Angeles, while the deal also sends Mike Conley and Nickeil Alexander-Walker to the Timberwolves. The trio will be absent for Utah on Wednesday which will allow ample opportunities for Collin Sexton, Talen Horton-Tucker and Ochai Agbaji. Once he's up to speed with the Lakers, Beasley will likely vie for a backup role on the wing, but he could also push to start. The Lakers' next game is on Thursday, but it would be surprising if Beasley would be able to go.

Lands three triples in loss Beasley registered nine points (3-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes during Monday's 124-111 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Beasley's struggles continued Monday, as he shot under 50 percent from the field for the fourth time in his past five games. His production has been up and down all season, often representative of his playing time. He currently sits as the 155th-ranked player in standard formats, averaging 13.4 points per game to go with 3.1 three-pointers. While he will have stretches in which he can be rostered, he should be looked at as more of a streaming candidate outside of deeper leagues.

Set to start against Cleveland Beasley is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Cavaliers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Beasley will replace Jarred Vanderbilt in the starting lineup as the Jazz opt to go with a smaller lineup than usual. The 26-year-old guard is averaging 16.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 31.2 minutes across his previous five games starting.

Improved offensive showing Beasley chipped in 15 points (6-15 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Sunday's 123-118 loss to Memphis.

Impact Beasley led the Jazz bench with 15 points in the loss, a much better effort when compared to his previous outing. He remains a steady source of points off the bench, and should Kelly Olynyk be forced to miss time due to his ankle injury, Beasley could be in for a slight bump. He certainly warrants attention in standard leagues, although must-roster status might be taking things a bit too far.
