Leads Lakers to win Doncic produced 28 points (7-18 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 9-9 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 30 minutes in Wednesday's 127-105 win over the Warriors.

Impact Doncic opened the regular season with a strong all-around performance, and while his shooting line wasn't entirely efficient, he caused damage from three while also filling out that stat sheet as he often does -- he ended just two rebounds and three assists away from a triple-double despite playing just 30 minutes. Scoring prowess aside, his rebounding and playmaking reinforce his elite fantasy ceiling. The six turnovers were a drawback, but his high usage should keep him among the league's most productive fantasy options every time he steps on the hardwood.

Scores 15 points in limited action Doncic finished with 15 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 19 minutes in Friday's 121-106 preseason loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Doncic played only the first half as Los Angeles managed his workload in its preseason finale. His five turnovers were particularly concerning given his limited playing time, and Denver's defensive pressure disrupted the Lakers' offensive rhythm early, but that's nothing fantasy managers should be concerned about with the start of the regular season around the corner -- turnovers are part of Doncic's game given his high usage rate. Doncic remains an elite fantasy option thanks to his scoring, playmaking and rebounding upside, and his role as the Lakers' No. 1 fantasy weapon -- and a consensus top-five player in all formats -- is set in stone.
