Reaves closed with 32 points (12-21 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 46 minutes during Saturday's 127-125 overtime win over the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Luka Doncic stole the show with a 30-point triple-double, but Reaves led the Lakers in scoring with an impressive performance. The star guard has reached the 30-point mark in three games in a row, and he's firmly established as the Lakers' No. 2 option on offense ahead of LeBron James. He's averaging 21.1 points per game since the All-Star break.

Reaves amassed 30 points (13-20 FG, 4-7 3Pt), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Thursday's 142-130 victory over the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

The fifth-year guard hit for at least 25 points in a third straight game as he begins to find his form again. Over 12 games since returning to the Lakers' starting five following the All-Star break, Reaves is averaging 20.2 points, 4.3 assists, 4.2 boards, 2.3 threes and 1.3 steals while shooting 43.1 percent from beyond the arc.

Reaves posted 31 points (10-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds and eight assists in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 120-106 win over the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

The game didn't start well for Reaves, but he played like a man possessed in the second half, scoring 29 of his 31 points after the intermission. While he had an accurate night on the floor, some of his most dynamic plays came as a ballhandler, which included a great no-look behind-the-back dish in the paint to Deandre Ayton. Reaves' contribution helped to assuage LeBron James' (hip) continued absence.

Reaves totaled 25 points (8-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in 39 minutes during Sunday's 110-97 victory over the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

It was Reaves' best scoring effort since Feb. 20, when he hit for 29 points against the Clippers, while the four combined steals and blocks tied his season high. Over 10 games since returning to the starting five following the All-Star break, the fifth-year guard is averaging 18.1 points, 3.8 boards, 3.7 assists, 2.0 threes, 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks.

Reaves recorded 19 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds and five assists in 29 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 128-117 victory over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Even with LeBron James (elbow) sidelined, Reaves was unable to crack the 20-point threshold, which he's done only twice since Dec. 5. He's still putting up solid numbers, averaging 17.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.3 steals across his past nine appearances (all starts). However, he hasn't been as prolific offensively as he was to start the season, as Luka Doncic is leading the way on most nights.

Reaves contributed 15 points (4-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 110-101 win over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves was ice-cold to begin the game, missing his first eight shot attempts. He made up for it in the fourth quarter, joining Luka Doncic on a 14-0 run that gave the Lakers the advantage. Reaves has been consistent over seven games since a one-game absence, averaging 17.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.0 steals over that span.

Reaves logged 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists and one rebound over 28 minutes during the Lakers' 129-101 win over the Warriors on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves came out firing with 11 points in the first quarter, and he finished Saturday's game as the Lakers' third-leading scorer behind Luka Doncic (26 points) and LeBron James (22 points). Reaves is seemingly past the calf strain that caused him to miss 22 of 24 games from mid-December to early February. He'll wrap up the month of February having averaged 19.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.9 threes and 1.2 steals over 29.1 minutes per game.

Reaves recorded 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Thursday's 113-110 loss to the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves had the opportunity to answer Royce O'Neale's late three-pointer, but his final shot rattled off the rim. Although four of the Lakers' five starters scored in double digits, Luka Doncic was the only player to score more than 15 points in the surprising loss. Next to Doncic, Reaves looked like the most effective player on the floor during the loss as he took advantage of absences from Dillon Brooks (hand) and Devin Booker (hip).

Reaves ended with 29 points (9-15 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 125-122 win over the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves was a welcome addition to the starting lineup after a minute restriction relegated him to backup duties for five games before the All-Star break. Reaves showed no ill effects from the calf injury that limited him, joining Luka Doncic to contribute 67 of the team's 125 points. Reaves was averaging a stellar 26.6 points, 6.3 assists, and 5.2 rebounds before his extended absence, and the Lakers hope his return to health will yield similar results.

Reaves will start against the Clippers on Friday, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves has played in five of the Lakers' last six outings following a 19-game absence due to a strained right calf, and he'll finally be inserted back into the starting five Friday. It's unclear whether the 27-year-old guard will remain on a minutes restriction, though he has logged at least 28 in each of his last two outings.
