Logs double-double as fill-in LaRavia supplied 12 points (5-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 103-88 loss to the Clippers.

Impact LaRavia stepped in to provide support for a snake-bit Lakers roster, and he turned in his first double-double of the season during his eighth appearance in the starting lineup. If LaRavia can keep up this level of production, the Lakeers might be able to play even ball through the end of the year with easier matchups against the Kings and Grizzlies coming up next week.

Active on defensive end LaRavia amassed six points (2-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 21 minutes during Sunday's 116-114 victory over the Suns.

Impact LaRavia couldn't get his shot to fall but remained active on both ends of the court, tying his best marks of the season in both blocks and rebounds while accounting for two of his team's 13 steals on the night. He's had a few flashy performances here or there so far this season but likely isn't worth rostering in most league formats.

Goes to locker room LaRavia (face) went to the locker room during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the 76ers, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact LaRavia took a hit to the face late in the first quarter and went to the locker room after being subbed out. Dalton Knecht and Gabe Vincent are in line for a bump in minutes off the bench for as long as LaRavia is out of the game.

Headed to bench LaRavia will come off the bench Sunday against the 76ers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact LeBron James is back and starting, so LaRavia will return to a reserve role. As a member of the second unit this season, LaRavia owns averages of 8.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 three-pointers and 1.1 steals per contest.

Starting Friday LaRavia will start Friday's game against the Celtics, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact LaRavia will make his seventh start of the season, stepping in for LeBron James (back). As a starter this season, LaRavia is averaging 11.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals across 33.3 minutes.

Puts up 14 points in win LaRavia notched 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one block and two steals over 28 minutes during Thursday's 123-120 victory over Toronto.

Impact LaRavia saw some extra minutes and touches Thursday with Luka Doncic out for personal reasons. For the most part, LaRavia's fantasy appeal has been limited to deeper formats this season. Through 21 games, he's averaging 9.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in25.8 minutes per contest.

Puts up 10 points off bench LaRavia chipped in 10 points (4-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one block over 26 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact LaRavia has shown the ability to produce in an increased role, but he definitely needs to work on his efficiency, as in his last six games (one start), he averages 6.5 points on just 35.7 percent from the field and 27.8 percent from three. With LeBron James (foot) and Marcus Smart (back) potentially slated to return Monday against Phoenix, LaRavia will likely revert back to playing around 14-20 minutes per game.

Another quiet performance in win LaRavia notched four points (2-2 FG), one rebound and one steal in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 135-118 win over the Clippers.

Impact LaRavia has been reliable when called upon, but Tuesday was not one of those nights as he only attempted two field goals and played 17 minutes. When LaRavia plays at least 23 minutes, he averages 11.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.2 blocks and 1.3 threes, but with LeBron James back in the mix the former will likely no longer see the court for that long.

Headed to bench LaRavia will come off the bench for Tuesday's game versus the Jazz, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Impact LaRavia started Saturday's game with a lot of the Lakers' forwards unavailable, but the Lakers will have everyone available for Tuesday's game, which will result in fewer minutes for LaRavia. Through eight games as a reserve this season, LaRavia has posted averages of 9.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 triple and 1.6 steals per contest.

Starting vs. Milwaukee LaRavia is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Bucks, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Lakers will be shorthanded at the forward spots without LeBron James (back), Marcus Smart (illness) and Rui Hachimura (calf). Thus, LaRavia will get the starting nod at power forward. LaRavia has been a pleasant surprise for the Lakers this season and is averaging 10.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game in 13 outings (five starts) this season.

Reverting back to bench Monday LaRavia won't start in Monday's game against the Hornets, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact With Austin Reaves (groin) returning from a three-game absence due to a groin injury, LaRavia will slide to the second unit. In five appearances off the bench this season, the 24-year-old forward has averaged 12.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.8 steals across 27.0 minutes per contest.

Stuffs stat sheet in loss LaRavia closed with 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 23 minutes during Saturday's 122-102 loss to the Hawks.

Impact LaRavia continues to find ways to produce on both ends of the court, and he seems to be gaining more and more chances of continuing to see regular minutes in a starting role -- at least until LeBron James (nerve) is ready to return. LaRavia has scored in double digits in all but one of his last six games and has proven to be a reliable all-around asset regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench.
