Talen Horton-Tucker - Struggles offensively in winHorton-Tucker notched two points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 24 minutes during Saturday's 122-115 overtime victory over the Knicks.
ImpactHorton-Tucker has failed to score in double figures in nine straight games. During that stretch, he has averaged 4.9 points, 2.0 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 20.2 minutes. With Carmelo Anthony (hamstring) sidelined, Horton-Tucker played the second most minutes off the bench behind Trevor Ariza, but that role likely won't catapult him into fantasy relevancy anytime soon.

Austin Reaves - Quiet outing in winReaves 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.
ImpactWith 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.
