In Tuesday’s 125-111 triumph against Detroit, Austin Reaves showcased his versatility on the court, contributing across multiple categories despite facing some shooting struggles. 

Reaves logged 15 points, grabbed seven rebounds, dished out six assists, and added one block and one steal in 32 minutes of play. Although his shooting efficiency wasn’t stellar, with a 3-of-9 field goal shooting and a 2-of-5 performance from beyond the arc, Reaves compensated with a perfect 7-of-7 showing from the free-throw line.

The emergence of Spencer Dinwiddie into the rotation provided a glimpse of potential changes in the Lakers’ lineup dynamics. However, Dinwiddie’s involvement seems to have complemented Reaves rather than posed a threat to his fantasy production. With Dinwiddie sharing the floor with D’Angelo Russell in a platoon role, Reaves remained a reliable contributor, offering consistent output for fantasy managers.

Reaves’ performance underscores his value beyond scoring, as evidenced by his ability to impact the game through rebounds, assists, and defensive contributions. While Reaves’ shooting touch may vary from game to game, his all-around production and reliability at the free-throw line make him a valuable asset for fantasy teams.
