Los Angeles Lakers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) was a later addition to the injury report when he popped up in the afternoon. The veteran is apparently dealing with an ankle sprain which he didn't seem to suffer during the team's back-to-back. With the later addition to the report, it appears more than likely that he'll miss a game. If that's the case, Ziaire Williams could be in line to get a starting spot while Jalen Wilson sees some extra playing time from the bench.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (groin) is questionable to play in Sunday's matchup with the Nuggets. The multi-time All-Star amassed 30 points, seven assists, and seven boards in Friday's loss to the Suns. However, he popped up on the injury report because of a groin strain, so it's possible he won't be on the court on Sunday. If that's the case, Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson should pick up most of the slack on the scoring end. In addition, Jaden Hardy could find himself in the starting lineup and be worth streaming in deeper fantasy setups.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (illness) has been tagged as questionable for Friday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers with an illness. The 26-year-old was unable to suit up for their last game against the Memphis Grizzlies as well, so hopefully he makes a return to the lineup. If he's unable to play, however, Dalton Knecht and Cam Reddish are likely to see more minutes again like they did in the Grizzlies game.

Los Angeles Lakers guards D'Angelo Russell (hip) and Austin Reaves (ankle) are both available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. As expected, both players will suit up for this game after being listed as probable. The Lakers are missing some key pieces on offense, so Russell and Reaves should be asked to do more heavy lifting on offense. Both players should see significant boosts in fantasy value ahead of Wednesday's game.

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.
