Gets chance to start Reaves is starting Monday's game against the Jazz, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Grabs four boards in 25 minutes Reaves contributed one point (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one block in 25 minutes during Sunday's 114-100 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Reaves played at least 20 minutes for a sixth consecutive game, but he struggled to make an impact Sunday during his extended playing time. With Patrick Beverley (illness) and Dennis Schroder (thumb) both out Monday, Reaves figures to garner a sizable role again, but as evident from Sunday, the second-year guard isn't a lock for consistent production.
