D’Angelo Russell's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Lakers point guard D'Angelo Russell (illness) will rejoin the action on Monday against Minnesota and is set to start the game. Each of Russell's last 11 appearances has come off the bench, but he will fill in for Austin Reaves (pelvis) in the first unit on Monday. As a starter, Russell averaged 12.0 points, 5.8 assists, and 1.0 steals early in the season. He faces a tricky matchup on Monday, as the Timberwolves allow the eighth-fewest fantasy points in the league to opposing point guards.

Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell (illness) may be dealing with an illness right now, but it doesn't seem to be too severe since the team has listed him as probable. He was forced to sit out against the Utah Jazz on Sunday, so the rest day seemed to get him ready for the second half of the back-to-back. He'll likely take on the Minnesota Timberwolves who has a middle-of-the-pack defense against point guards and one of the slower paces in the league. Meanwhile, Russell has averaged 12.2 points, 4.8 assists, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.0 steals per game.

Los Angeles Lakers point guard D'Angelo Russell (illness) will not be available for Sunday's game against Utah. An illness has taken Russell out of the lineup for the first time this season. The former All-Star has been leading the Lakers bench in recent weeks, averaging 12.1 points in 24.6 minutes. Gabe Vincent's and Max Christie's fantasy value will receive a boost on Sunday, with the former making his first start of the campaign. It's a dream fantasy matchup for Vincent against a squad that allows the most fantasy points in the league to the point guard position this season.

Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports that Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick stated guard D'Angelo Russell (illness) is "good to go" for Wednesday's game against Memphis. Russell was added to the injury report on Wednesday due to an illness. In the last two contests, he has come off the Lakers' bench and has performed well, averaging 16.5 points in 26.0 minutes per game while shooting 38.5 percent from three-point range.

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.
