McLemore produced 12 points (4-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 104-94 loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
McLemore was cleared to play, which was fortunate for a Portland team that could have had an eight-man rotation without his services. His move to Portland was initially considered a nonfactor to begin the season, but he's now an integral part of the team due to a severely depleted backcourt.

McLemore (hip) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
McLemore will play for a Portland team that is currently dealing with an extensive injury report. Since the guard will play, he should see an abundance of minutes and will likely end up as a starter.

McLemore (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Portland has an extensive injury report, and McLemore's availability carries more weight than usual. If he can play Wednesday, he could see plenty of action.

McLemore (ankle) is not on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's preseason game against Phoenix.
EDGE Analysis
The reserve guard missed Monday's game with a sprained ankle, but it doesn't look to be anything of real concern. Expect the 2013 lottery pick to provide backcourt depth and three-point shooting off the bench this season.

McLemore (ankle sprain) is out for Monday's exhibition contest against Sacramento, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
McLemore played 16 minutes in the team's first preseason contest, but will be held out for Portland's matchup against the Kings due to an ankle sprain. The Kansas product's next chance to return to the court will come Wednesday against the Suns.

McLemore agreed to terms on a contract with the Trail Blazers on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
McLemore spent time in Houston and LA during the 2020 campaign, averaging 7.7 points and 1.9 rebounds across 53 games. He'll serve in a bench role with Portland, likely competing with Anfernee Simons for playing time at shooting guard.

McLemore tallied 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt) and one rebound across 22 minutes in Sunday's 123-110 win over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Since he arrived from Houston, McLemore's sharpshooting skills have generated considerable spark to the Lakers' offense when they give way to the second unit. He's never been a solid contributor in secondary stats, so his success is completely dependent on his shooting accuracy, which is usually determined by three-point attempts.

McLemore registered 16 points (5-16 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 116-107 loss to the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old has now hit at least one three-pointer in nine out his first 11 games as a Laker. McLemore's minutes have been a roller coaster lately, as he's posted 17, 23, 10, 16, nine, 29, 12, and 22 over his last seven games, respectively. Feel free to stream the eighth-year guard in deeper formats if you're in desperate need of three-pointers and low-end points.

McLemore will come off the bench for Monday's game against the Magic, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After making a spot start in place of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope on Saturday, McLemore will head back to the bench as KCP returns to his customary shooting guard spot. McLemore went off for 20 points and six three-pointers Saturday, though the Lakers fell to the Mavs for the second time in three nights.
