Lakers' Jake LaRavia: Strong line against Warriors
Rotowire
LaRavia produced 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 31 minutes during Thursday's 119-103 victory over Golden State.
With Luka Doncic (hamstring) and Austin Reaves (oblique) on the shelf, LaRavia stepped up with his best scoring effort since Feb. 3, when he hit for 18 points against the Nets. The fourth-year wing has scored in double digits in three of the last five games, averaging 10.4 points, 6.8 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.4 threes and 0.8 blocks over that stretch.

Lakers' Jake LaRavia: Pops for 14 against Cavs
Rotowire
LaRavia ended with 14 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one steal across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 127-113 win over Cleveland.
Making his fifth straight start in place of Marcus Smart (ankle), LaRavia scored in double digits for the first time since Feb. 28. During his latest stint in the starting five, the fourth-year wing is averaging 6.2 points, 3.6 boards, 1.8 steals and 0.8 assists in 28.4 minutes while shooting an improbable 76.5 percent from the floor, and it's not clear how much more time Smart might miss as the Lakers fight to hang onto the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference.

Lakers' Jake LaRavia: Starting sans Smart
Rotowire
LaRavia will start Monday's game against Detroit, Trevor Lane of LakersNation.com reports.
With Marcus Smart (ankle) unavailable, LaRavia will get the starting nod for the first time since the All-Star break. As a starter this season (33 games), he has averaged 10.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 steals in 29.8 minutes per contest.

Lakers' Jake LaRavia: Settling into reserve role
Rotowire
LaRavia registered eight points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 120-106 win over Minnesota.
LaRavia has fallen out of a starting role since the All-Star break, limiting his fantasy appeal overall. The fourth-year forward has averaged 6.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 19.0 minutes per contest in his last 11 games (no starts), shooting just 40.7 percent from the floor.

Lakers' Jake LaRavia: Coming off bench Friday
Rotowire
LaRavia is not in the Lakers' starting lineup against the Clippers on Friday, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
With Luka Doncic (hamstring) back in the lineup and the Lakers at full strength, LaRavia will slide back to the bench for the first time in 24 games. During that stretch, he averaged 10.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.5 steals, providing consistent production for a Lakers team that has been dealing with multiple injuries.

Lakers' Jake LaRavia: Notches 11 points in win
Rotowire
LaRavia posted 11 points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 26 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 win over the Mavericks.
Heading into the All-Star break, LaRavia has more than established himself as a key member of the rotation. Through 54 appearances, he's averaging 26.8 minutes with 9.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 three-pointers.
LaRavia supplied 14 points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 119-110 loss to the Thunder.
LaRavia is hanging onto a starting spot for the Lakers, but that could change once Luka Doncic (hamstring) returns to the fold. Over his last eight contests, LaRavia has averaged 8.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.6 assists in 25.6 minutes per game.
Lakers' Jake LaRavia: Another quiet scoring effort
Rotowire
LaRavia ended with five points (2-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Sunday's 112-100 loss to the Knicks.
The Lakers have turned to LaRavia effectively as a full-time starter in favor of Rui Hachimura, as LaRavia has started each game since Dec. 30. However, the results have been fairly lackluster, with LaRavia averaging 5.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.6 steals in 26.2 minutes per contest in his last nine games.
LaRavia (quadriceps) is available for Monday's game against the Bulls, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
The Lakers are clearing LaRavia to play through a left quadriceps contusion Monday. The forward has gone cold lately, averaging 6.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game in 25.4 minutes per contest in his last five games.

Lakers' Jake LaRavia: Nursing left quad injury
Rotowire
LaRavia is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls due to a left quadriceps contusion.
LaRavia may have picked up the injury during the Lakers' 116-110 win over the Mavericks on Saturday, when he recorded 13 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 30 minutes. Rui Hachimura would likely enter the Lakers' starting lineup Monday if LaRavia is unable to play.

Lakers' Jake LaRavia: Chips in 13 points Saturday
Rotowire
LaRavia contributed 13 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 30 minutes during Saturday's 116-110 win over Dallas.
The fourth-year forward snapped a streak of four straight games in which he only scored in single digits. LaRavia will soon have to cede his spot in the starting lineup to Austin Reaves (calf), but in 14 games since taking on a bigger role for the Lakers, he's averaged 11.3 points, 4.5 boards, 2.1 assists, 1.8 threes and 1.5 steals in 31.9 minutes a contest.

Lakers' Jake LaRavia: Struggles with two points
Rotowire
LaRavia accumulated two points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Saturday's 132-116 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Inexplicably, the game didn't flow in LaRavia's direction during the decisive loss, and his tepid outing matched his second-worst scoring total of the season. He was also pulled early due to the massive deficit, thus limiting his ability to turn things around. He also had a bad showing in his most recent game against the Kings, so he could be in for a rough day in the rematch on Sunday.

Lakers' Jake LaRavia: Scores 18 points in loss
Rotowire
LaRavia supplied 18 points (5-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Thursday's 135-117 loss to Charlotte.
LaRavia continues to be a major bright spot for the Lakers in recent weeks. Over his last 10 outings, he's producing top-50 value in nine-category formats with averages of 13.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.1 three-pointers on 49.5 percent shooting from the field.

Lakers' Jake LaRavia: Logs 17 points in decisive win
Rotowire
LaRavia closed with 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 141-116 victory over Atlanta.
Every Lakers starter logged a double-digit scoring total in the blowout, and LaRavia bounced back with a great total after only scoring two points during Monday's embarrassing loss to Sacramento. LaRavia received more opportunities with Rui Hachimura (calf) on a minute restriction. LaRavia's fantasy value will take a hit once Hachimura is back to full strength, and it's unknown how LaRavia's recent solid play will impact the rotation.

Lakers' Jake LaRavia: Muted performance in loss
Rotowire
LaRavia accumulated two points (1-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Monday's 124-112 loss to the Kings.
LaRavia had been on a hot streak in recent weeks, so this dud shouldn't dissuade his fantasy managers. The Lakers will be getting Rui Hachimura (calf) back in action Tuesday, but it sounds like he will come off the bench with heavy restrictions. As long as LaRavia can bounce back quickly, his spot with the starters is relatively safe.
