Max Mackinnon - Swishes season-high 27 points Mackinnon amassed 27 points (9-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Saturday's 84-73 loss to Vanderbilt.

Impact Mackinnon had his fourth 20-point game of his senior season. He has knocked down 13 3-pointers in his last four games and has averaged 19.3 points over that span. He has taken on a larger role with Dedan Thomas out and has nine assists in his last three games. The Tigers will look to win their first conference game on Wednesday against Kentucky.

Marquel Sutton - Scores 13, grabs six boards Sutton racked up 13 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one block across 31 minutes during Saturday's 84-73 loss to Vanderbilt.

Impact The 6-8 Sutton has been very quiet in the Tigers' three-game losing streak. In the three conference losses, the forward has averaged 7.3 points on 30.0 percent from the field and 5.3 rebounds. Saturday's performance was a tick up, but it remains to be seen if the Omaha transfer can compete against SEC teams. He will get another chance on Wednesday against Kentucky.

Dedan Thomas Jr. - Sitting out Saturday Thomas (foot) will not play Saturday versus Vanderbilt, per the SEC availability report.

Impact Thomas was listed as doubtful on the initial availability report released Friday, so his absence Saturday isn't a huge surprise. Jalen Reece figures to continue drawing starts in his absence, though Reece hasn't performed particularly well in the role thus far.

Dedan Thomas Jr. - Doubtful to face Vandy Thomas (foot) is doubtful for Saturday's game at Vanderbilt.

Impact Thomas didn't play Tuesday against South Carolina and is doubtful to return to the hardwood in this one. Not having him around would be a huge blow for LSU, as Thomas is averaging career-high marks in points (16.2), assists (7.0) and rebounds (2.8) per game. If Thomas is out, look for Jalen Reece to start at point guard Saturday.

PJ Carter - Scores 10, grabs seven boards Carter racked up 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-8 3Pt), a season-high seven rebounds and one steal across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 78-68 loss to South Carolina.

Impact Carter has played sparingly off the Tiger bench and had only collected a combined three rebounds prior to Tuesday's game. He helped the Tigers make the game respectable after the team fell behind by 25 points at halftime. The 6-4 senior may have earned himself more playing time.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jalen Reece - Struggles as starter Reece posted two points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and six assists across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 78-68 loss to South Carolina.

Impact Reece is getting an opportunity to start with Dedan Thomas (foot) out. The 6-2 freshman has racked up 13 assists in two games as a started, but has only scored six points on 3-of-13 (23.1 percent) from the field. The Tigers had more turnovers than assists (14:12). If Thomas can't return Saturday against Vanderbilt, Reece will likely start again.

Dedan Thomas Jr. - Remains out Thomas (foot) is out for Tuesday's game against South Carolina.

Impact Thomas was spotted in a walking boot before Saturday's game against Texas A&M, and the junior guard will also be sidelined for this matchup. The specifics of the injury aren't clear, but it wouldn't be surprising if he misses more time.

JANUARY 3 • Associated Press

Max Mackinnon - Hits four treys, 20 points Mackinnon registered 20 points (7-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Saturday's 75-72 loss to Texas A&M.

Impact In his last five games, the 6-6 senior has averaged 16.8 points on 46.7 percent from the field and 50.0 percent (18-of-36) of his 3-pointers. With Dedan Thomas (foot) our, Mackinnon had to facilitate the offense a bit more, so his assists could be up in the short term. The Australian will look to lead the Tigers to their first SEC win on Tuesday against South Carolina.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Jalen Reece - Starts, deals seven assists Reece provided four points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, seven assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Saturday's 75-72 loss to Texas A&M.

Impact The 6-0 freshman started for Dedan Thomas (foot) and set up the offense nicely. His shooting left something to be desired, but the numbers were in line with the rest of his first season in Baton Rouge. Reece is converting just 35.4 percent on field goals and 15.8 percent from long range. If Thomas remains out, Reece could be looked at as an assist-only add.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Dedan Thomas Jr. - Out Saturday, may miss more time Thomas (foot) is in a walking boot and will be unavailable for Saturday's game against Texas A&M, Glen West of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Thomas was labeled doubtful for Saturday's game, and he'll wind up missing the contest due to a foot injury. However, Thomas's utilization of a walking boot indicates more absences may come. More information regarding Thomas's injury should come when LSU returns to Baton Rouge on Sunday.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Dedan Thomas Jr. - Doubtful for Saturday Thomas (undisclosed) is doubtful for Saturday's game against Texas A&M.

Impact The doubtful tag suggests Thomas might not be able to play Saturday. If that's the case, look for Jalen Reece to take his place as the starting floor general against the Aggies. Thomas is averaging 16.2 points and 7.0 dimes per game.
