Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Efficient double-double vs. NOP
Ayton logged 20 points (10-11 FG), 16 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 118-104 victory over New Orleans.
Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves led the way for the Lakers in this victory, but the impressive performance of Ayton can't be overlooked. The big man, who had a few problems adjusting to the offense at first, has been putting up good numbers of late, though this was his most efficient performance by a wide margin after missing just one of his 11 shots. This was Ayton's fifth double-double of the season, and it was also the fourth time he scored at least 20 points. Since missing the Nov. 2 win over Miami, Ayton is shooting an impressive 48-for-63 from the floor in six games -- good for a 76.1 field goal percentage.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Goes off for 31 points in win
Reaves closed with 31 points (9-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 11-13 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Friday's 118-104 victory over the Pelicans.
Even though Luka Doncic had an impressive stat line and finished just three rebounds shy of a triple-double, it was Reaves who led the Lakers in scoring in this win. Reaves has been outstanding this season and is among the league's top scorers while filling the scoring void left by the absence of LeBron James (back). Reaves has been on a tear of late as well, as this was his seventh game (out of 10 appearances) with at least 25 points in 2025-26.

Lakers' Luka Doncic: Sniffs triple-double in win
Doncic ended with 24 points (6-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 9-13 FT), seven rebounds, 12 assists, one block and two steals across 40 minutes during Friday's 118-104 win over New Orleans.
Doncic didn't have his best shooting performance in this game, but he came through every time the Lakers needed him. The star guard finished just three rebounds shy of posting what would've been his first triple-double since Nov. 2. However, this game also represented Doncic's sixth double-double of the campaign. Even though Austin Reaves led the way in scoring for the Lakers in this victory, there's no question that Doncic remains the most influential player on offense for the Lakers, and the team goes as he goes.

Lakers' Adou Thiero: Upgraded to available
Thiero (knee) has been upgraded to available for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Thiero will be able to make his NBA debut Friday, though it remains to be seen if he'll be part of the rotation. The uncertainty regarding his role means the rookie out of Arkansas shouldn't have a lot of fantasy value in the early stages of his NBA career.

Lakers' Adou Thiero: Probable for Friday
Thiero (knee) is probable for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Thiero will have the chance to make his NBA debut Friday, though minutes aren't guaranteed for the 2025 second-rounder. Most fantasy managers can monitor him from afar for the time being.

Lakers' LeBron James: Practices Thursday
James was again able to get through full-contact, 5-on-5 work at Thursday's practice with the G League's South Bay Lakers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
This is the second practice with South Bay that James has been able to get through without issue, and according to McMenamin, James' Thursday workout was "intense." The Lakers will hold a Monday practice when they return from their road trip, and if James continues to progress, he could join the team for that one.

Lakers' Adou Thiero: Gets questionable tag
Thiero (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
It's the first time all season that Thiero has drawn a questionable tag amid his recovery from left knee surgery. The rookie second-rounder is likely to face restrictions to his playing time upon his season debut, which could come as early as Friday. Thiero's eventual presence could eat into the minutes of Dalton Knecht off the Lakers' bench.

Lakers' Luka Doncic: Gets little help in loss
Doncic supplied 19 points (7-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-7 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 121-92 loss to the Thunder.
No other Lakers starter managed more than 13 points on the night, and only four Los Angeles players in total scored in double digits in the rout. It was the first time Doncic failed to score at least 20 points in a game himself this season, but the 26-year-old superstar is still averaging a blistering 34.9 points, 9.1 boards, 8.9 assists, 3.5 threes and 1.8 steals through his first eight contests.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Bright spot in loss
Knecht logged 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 121-92 loss to Oklahoma City.
Knecht matched his season-high mark of 16 points as he was able to take advantage of some garbage time in this blowout loss. He's made the most of his limited minutes in November, putting up averages of 7.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.5 three-pointers on 48.6 percent shooting from the field in 17.5 minutes per contest.

Lakers' LeBron James: Goes through 5-on-5 work
James (back) took part in 5-on-5 drills while practicing with the G League's South Bay Lakers on Wednesday, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
James has been sidelined all season while recovering from sciatica on his right side, but he took a meaningful step toward making his 2025-26 debut by getting in his first practice of the campaign Wednesday. With the Lakers in the midst of a five-game road trip, James will likely continue to practice with South Bay over the next few days before the parent club returns to Los Angeles following Saturday's tilt in Milwaukee. Head coach JJ Redick wasn't willing to commit to James taking part in practice with the Lakers on Monday, making it unclear if the 21-time All-Star will be available for Tuesday's home game against the Jazz.

Lakers' LeBron James: Practicing in G League on Wednesday
James (back) will practice with the G League's South Bay Lakers on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
James will log his first practice of the season and will be recalled after the practice. The 40-year-old is moving on to the next phase of his rehab from sciatica on his right side, an issue that first cropped up over the summer. Previous reports have suggested that James could be cleared to make his season debut next Tuesday against the Jazz once the Lakers return from their five-game road trip, though his availability for that contest will be contingent on him responding well to his increased workload in practice over the next few days.

Lakers' Marcus Smart: Monster defensive performance
Smart logged 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven steals, six assists and four rebounds over 37 minutes during the Lakers' 121-111 win over the Hornets on Monday.
Smart connected on three three-pointers for the second time this season, but the 2021-22 Defensive Player of the Year made his presence felt with seven steals, one short of his career-high eight swipes in February 2017. Smart opened the season on the bench, but he has started each of his last seven outings, averaging 11.1 points, 4.4 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 2.6 steals across 30.7 minutes per game over that span.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Well-rounded effort in return
Reaves (groin) delivered 24 points (7-17 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 8-11 FT), seven assists, five rebounds and two steals across 29 minutes in the Lakers' 121-111 win over the Hornets on Monday.
Reaves was cleared to return Monday from a three-game absence due to a groin strain. He didn't score with much efficiency, but he got to the charity stripe for a game-high 11 free-throw attempts, led the Lakers in rebounds and finished second in scoring behind Luka Doncic (38 points). The Lakers capped Reaves at under 30 minutes in his return, but he could see a slight uptick in playing time during the team's next game Wednesday at Oklahoma City.
