Scores 19 points Saturday Reaves amassed 19 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's 127-102 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Reaves was the leading scorer for the Lakers in this 25-point loss, and he delivered a strong bounce-back performance after notching just nine points in the loss to the Magic on Friday. Reaves is firmly entrenched as the Lakers' third scoring weapon behind Anthony Davis and LeBron James, but his numbers have been trending in the wrong direction of late. He's gone six straight games without reaching the 20-point mark, averaging 15.3 points per contest and shooting just 36.2 percent from three-point range in that span.

Shooting woes in loss Thursday Reaves accumulated nine points (3-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-5 FT), three assists, two rebounds and one steal in 33 minutes during Thursday's 119-118 loss to the Magic.

Impact Reaves posted his second-lowest scoring mark of the season while failing to hit double-digit points for the first time since Oct. 30 against the Cavaliers. The 26-year-old guard has struggled with efficiency over his last five outings, during which he has averaged 14.6 points and 5.4 assists while shooting only 34.3 percent from the field across 35.0 minutes per game.

Goes for 27 points Sunday Reaves ended Sunday's 123-103 victory over the Raptors with 27 points (10-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, six assists and one steal in 33 minutes.

Impact Reaves was one of the best Lakers players in this victory, leading the team in scoring and also excelling as a playmaker. Firmly entrenched as the Lakers' third option on offense behind Anthony Davis and LeBron James, Reaves is averaging 20.6 points per game since the beginning of November.

Season-high six threes Friday Reaves notched 20 points (7-13 FG, 6-10 3Pt), six rebounds, seven assists and one block in 30 minutes during Friday's 116-106 victory over Philadelphia.

Impact Cam Reddish replaced D'Angelo Russell in the Lakers' starting backcourt, but the result was maybe the best all-around performance of the season for Reaves, including a season high in threes-pointers. The fourth-year guard had trouble finding his shot to begin to the season, but he's showing signs of turning things around -- over the last three games Reaves is shooting 37.9 percent (11-for-29) from long range.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Shooting woes continue Reaves accumulated 19 points (7-17 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and three steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 131-114 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Reaves has scored 15-plus points in three straight games and in six of his last seven appearances, so he's getting the job done in the scoring column. However, his three-point percentages are extremely low. He's making just 20 percent of his shots from beyond the arc in his last three games, and the Lakers need his floor spacing and outside shooting to be at their best offensively. Fantasy managers shouldn't be overly concerned with Reaves' recent struggles, although those in category-based leagues could get hurt by this slump.

His availability for Monday's game in Detroit doesn't appear to be in jeopardy at this time, though it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Lakers add him to the injury report later in the day if the injury is still bugging him.
