Erratic shooting in return LaVine (knee) closed with 23 points (6-19 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals over 35 minutes during Monday's 111-110 win over Oklahoma... Impact LaVine delivered fantasy managers a solid yet inefficient line in his return from a five-game absence due to a left knee injury. Some rustiness was to be expected in light of his layoff, but fantasy managers were likely just happy to see him back in the lineup while handling a normal minutes load. With Lonzo Ball (knee) and Alex Caruso (wrist) both set to miss at least the next six weeks due to their respective injuries, LaVine is going to have the ball in his hands even more. Expect him to see a slight bump in his assist rate, and potentially his scoring production, too.
