The Rockets signed Augustin for the rest of the season Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Augustin had recent stints with Houston in which he played 20 games for them in 2020-21 and 34 in 2021-22. However, the veteran point guard is unlikely to receive significant minutes as the rebuilding Rockets should give the majority of the opportunities to younger players like Josh Christopher, Daishen Nix and TyTy Washington.

Augustin amassed nine points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over 20 minutes during Thursday's 122-109 loss to the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Augustin saw 20 minutes of court time for the first time in four games, and he finished with his most points since March 21. The veteran point guard took all of his shots from beyond the arc, making three of four attempts in 20 minutes. Augustin is shooting an impressive 68.6 percent from the field over his past eight contests, and he has averaged 2.3 three-pointers over that stretch. However, his counting stats of 8.3 points, 1.4 boards and 1.1 assists during that span don't give him much fantasy appeal.

Augustin finished with 20 points (7-7 FG, 6-6 3Pt) in 26 minutes during Monday's 131-120 win over the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Augustin was on fire from beyond the arc, connecting on all six of his three-point attempts. He led the Lakers bench in scoring and minutes played. Augustin is a breath of fresh air for a Los Angeles squad that hovers near the bottom-third of the league in three-point shooting percentage. He can have streaming appeal if the Lakers are ever shorthanded.

Augustin provided 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 139-130 overtime loss to Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Augustin went 4-for-7 from deep Wednesday and paced Los Angeles' reserves in scoring, though he failed to contribute much in other categories. The veteran point guard has averaged 20.5 minutes through his first four games with the Lakers, but he doesn't offer much fantasy utility given his low usage, especially while Russell Westbrook, Malik Monk and Austin Reaves remain available in the backcourt.

Augustin provided three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound, six assists and three steals in 22 minutes during Thursday's 132-111 loss to the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Augustin was brought aboard by the Lakers earlier in the week to provide backcourt depth, and the veteran came through with a team-leading six dimes and three thefts despite playing only 22 minutes in his team debut. He has never been a prolific scorer, but Augustin could help the Lakers as a distributor and shooter -- he is shooting 38.0 percent from three-point range over the course of his career. However, it's unlikely that Augustin will see enough minutes to warrant a pickup in fantasy.

Augustin (recently signed) will be available for Thursday's game against the Lakers but is not guaranteed to be in the rotation, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Augustin will, in theory, help the Lakers with backup point guard minutes. However, he may not be an everyday player while competing for minutes with Austin Reaves, Malik Monk and other guards.

Augustin (recently acquired) won't make his Lakers debut Tuesday against the Mavericks, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Lakers made the acquisition of Augustin official Tuesday morning, but the veteran point guard won't make his debut for his new team until at least Thursday when the Lakers face the Clippers. The 34-year-old appeared in 34 games for Houston this season and averaged 5.4 points, 2.2 assists and 1.2 rebounds while shooting 40.6 percent from deep.

The Lakers plan to sign Augustin later this week after the team informed center DeAndre Jordan of his release Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Augustin was waived by the Rockets in mid-February and will now join Los Angeles as veteran backcourt depth. The 34-year-old appeared in 34 games for Houston this season and averaged 5.4 points, 1.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists while shooting 40.6 percent from deep. He's unlikely to be available for the Lakers' next game Tuesday versus the Mavericks while he waits to finalize his contract, but he could make his team debut Thursday against the Clippers.

Augustin will be waived by the Rockets on Thursday, Jackson Gatlin of Locked On Rockets reports.

EDGE Analysis

Augustin was unable to carve out consistent playing time recently and will now be let go after the Rockets acquired several players ahead of Thursday's trade deadline. He averaged 5.4 points and 2.2 assists in 15.0 minutes per game across 34 appearances to begin the year.

Augustin (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) logged four points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three assists and two rebounds across 16 minutes off the bench in Monday's 133-113 loss to the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Augustin stepped back into his usual role on the Rockets' second unit as he made his way back from a four-game stint in the protocols. Houston should get Kevin Porter back from a one-game suspension Wednesday in Washington, and Armoni Brooks will likely exit the protocols at some point next week, if not sooner. When that happens, Augustin could be in danger of losing his spot in the rotation if the 10-28 Rockets decide to prioritize the development of younger guards like Porter, Jalen Green, Brooks and Josh Christopher.
