   Reaves amassed 25 points (8-22 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, two assists and four steals across 38 minutes during Friday's 124-118 win over Portland.

   Reaves was Los Angeles' second-leading scorer, but it took him 22 shots to get there, and his outside shot was off all night. He made up for it with a perfect night at the free-throw line and a team-high four steals. On nights when Luka Doncic carries this much of the offense, Reaves doesn't need to be efficient for the Lakers to win, but they'll want a cleaner shooting night from him going forward.

   Reaves totaled 21 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-103 victory over the Kings.

   Reaves was the Lakers' second scoring option behind Luka Doncic again and didn't commit a turnover in 37 minutes. Reaves has been productive to start the season, and his scoring floor alongside Doncic makes him a reliable fantasy starter across formats.

   Reaves ended Sunday's 131-125 victory over Toronto with 19 points (6-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and four assists in 39 minutes.

   The 19 points were actually second on the Lakers for the night, as Luka Doncic put the team on his back with a massive 45-point performance. Reaves has been plenty productive on his own to begin the season, averaging 23.1 points, 5.1 assists, 3.4 boards, 2.3 threes and 1.0 steals in 36.0 minutes while shooting 52.0 percent from the floor and what would be a career-high 40.0 percent from three-point range.

   Reaves chipped in 21 points (9-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 112-95 loss to Golden State.

   Reaves scored 21 points but had a rough night taking care of the ball, committing a game-high eight turnovers in the loss. The guard has been a reliable second option behind Doncic all season, but his struggles from deep and his giveaways were a big part of why Los Angeles couldn't stop Golden State's run. Look for him to bounce back quickly Sunday against Toronto.

   Reaves produced 16 points (6-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 103-87 victory over the Clippers.

   Without Luka Doncic (back) in the lineup, the Lakers went with a balanced approach on offense, and Reaves was one of four players in purple and gold to score 15 or more points. It was the first time this season the 28-year-old guard failed to deliver 20-plus, and through five games, Reaves is averaging 24.4 points, 5.4 assists, 3.4 boards, 2.6 threes and 1.2 steals while shooting what would be a career-best 56.9 percent from the floor and 48.1 percent from beyond the arc.
