Los Angeles Lakers News and Rumors - NBA

Austin Reaves - Pops for 18 in return Reaves recorded 18 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds and six assists in 28 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 124-104 win over Dallas.

Impact After sitting out the second game of a back-to-back Tuesday, Reaves was back in action Thursday and led the Lakers second unit in scoring -- the rest of the team's bench managed just 21 points combined. In five games since returning from a calf injury in early February, Reaves is averaging 20.0 points, 4.8 assists, 4.2 boards, 1.6 threes and 1.0 steals in 25.4 minutes, and he could be ready to rejoin the starting five on the other side of the All-Star break.

Rui Hachimura - Strikes for 21 in Thursday's win Hachimura notched 21 points (9-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 35 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 win over Dallas.

Impact Making his fourth straight start, Hachimura produced his best scoring effort since Jan. 26, when he dropped 23 points in Chicago.
