Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (ankle) is anticipated to play on Wednesday versus the Grizzlies. The ankle injury isn't anything new, so fantasy managers should expect to see him on the floor. The 26-year-old has played well this season, averaging 17.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 1.4 steals. Of course, assuming Reaves is available, he's a viable fantasy option in any format. But his potential could increase if Anthony Davis (foot) isn't available.
Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. AD has been dealing with a foot injury since the summer. However, he reinjured it in Monday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. Davis wants to play every game this season. But there's a chance he may not be out there versus the Grizzlies. If the veteran can't suit up, Jaxson Hayes would likely slide into his spot in the rotation and be worth adding to fantasy lineups, even if it's for one day.
Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis has been playing through a foot injury early in the season. He aggravated the injury in Monday's 115-103 loss to Detroit. "I'll talk to my trainer and just kind of figure out what exactly is going on," Davis told reporters after the game. "I've been managing it since this summer, honestly, and my goal for every game is to be on the floor. And I just kind of landed directly on the spot that's been killing me. So, we'll figure it out." Despite the injury, Davis has been crushing it with the Lakers, averaging a league-high 32.6 points with 11.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.7 blocks, and 1.6 steals. Davis is considered day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Memphis. Jaxson Hayes could be in line for a big boost in playing time if Davis is unavailable.
Jovan Buha from The Athletic has reported that center Anthony Davis (hip) will be available for Monday's matchup with the Pistons. As anticipated, he has been upgraded from probable to available status and will carry on playing despite experiencing right-hip soreness. This issue hasn't affected his performance, as he's currently averaging 31.8 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 2.2 blocks, and 1.8 steals over 36.0 minutes per game.
According to Jovan Buha of The Athletic, Los Angeles Lakers forwardAustin Reaves(ankle) has been cleared to play against the Detroit Pistons on Monday. The 26-year-old has yet to miss a game this season. He's a starter in any fantasy format, averaging 17.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.3 steals, and 2.2 threes per game to start the year. Anthony Davis (hip) and D'Angelo Russell (foot)are also available after being listed as probable earlier on Monday.
