Austin Reaves (calf) is listed as probable ahead of Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. Reaves appears to be on track to make his return to the court after missing each of the last two games. When healthy, Reaves has been a force on the court lately with a four-game streak of 20 points or more before that ended when he got injured against the Los Angeles Clippers last Friday. The 26-year-old is a must-start once he gets back on the court.
Gabe Vincent figures to lose playing time once Reaves returns, but he wasn't offering much value right now anyway.

Austin Reaves (calf) is unavailable for Tuesday's game against New Orleans. He suffered a calf injury during Friday's win over the Clippers, ending his evening after just nine minutes of work. An MRI showed no significant damage. However, the injury will keep him off the floor for a second straight contest.
Dalton Knecht will likely see an uptick in minutes with Reaves out. Knecht could make an impact in fantasy on Tuesday as he finished with 19 points, four rebounds, and two steals, playing 25 minutes off the bench against the Clippers on Sunday.

Austin Reaves (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's game against New Orleans. He suffered a calf injury during Friday's win over the Clippers, ending his evening after just nine minutes of work. While an MRI showed no significant damage, it still kept him off the floor when the Lakers and Clippers met again on Sunday night.
Luka Doncic (knee) is also questionable, so Reaves could see an uptick in usage on Tuesday. However, if Reaves and Doncic are both sidelined,
LeBron James (foot), who is probable, will likely handle the ball more than usual.
Gabe Vincent, who had nine points on Sunday as a member of the starting lineup, could also be in line for increased fantasy production.

Austin Reaves (calf) won't play on Sunday against the Clippers. He injured his calf when the Lakers and Clippers met on Friday night. Fortunately, an MRI "revealed no serious injury." However, fantasy managers had a feeling Reaves would miss some time. With that said, the 23-year-old has averaged a career-high 19.1 points this season, so the Lakers need him back as soon as possible. But while Reaves is out of commission,
Dalton Knecht and
Gabe Vincent are in line for more work.
