LaRavia won't start in Monday's game against the Hornets, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Austin Reaves (groin) returning from a three-game absence due to a groin injury, LaRavia will slide to the second unit. In five appearances off the bench this season, the 24-year-old forward has averaged 12.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.8 steals across 27.0 minutes per contest.

LaRavia closed with 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 23 minutes during Saturday's 122-102 loss to the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

LaRavia continues to find ways to produce on both ends of the court, and he seems to be gaining more and more chances of continuing to see regular minutes in a starting role -- at least until LeBron James (nerve) is ready to return. LaRavia has scored in double digits in all but one of his last six games and has proven to be a reliable all-around asset regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench.

LaRavia closed with 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists, five rebounds and three steals across 36 minutes during Monday's 123-115 win over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

LaRavia made his third start of the season Monday with Luka Doncic (rest) and Austin Reaves (groin) sidelined and turned in a well-rounded performance. The wing has shown a strong defensive nose for the ball, recording at least three steals in each of his last three outings. Across his first eight games with the Lakers, LaRavia is averaging 12.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.6 steals in 29.6 minutes per contest, carving out a meaningful role in the rotation early in the season.

LaRavia is starting Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

LaRavia is fresh off an impressive 25-point showing Sunday against the Heat, and he'll draw his third start of the season Monday while the Lakers deal with several injuries in the backcourt. The 24-year-old has logged 30-plus minutes in two of his last three appearances, and he'll have a great chance to reach this threshold again in Portland.

LaRavia finished with 25 points (10-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and four steals in 35 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 130-120 victory over Miami.

EDGE Analysis

The fourth-year forward has bounced between the starting five and the second unit this season as the Lakers find ways to cover for the absence of LeBron James (back), but LaRavia is proving to be an asset in either role. Over the last five games (two starts), he's averaging 15.8 points, 6.6 boards, 3.4 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.8 steals in 31.4 minutes while shooting a stunning 60.4 percent from the floor and 50.0 percent (10-for-20) from long distance. James is expected to make his season debut sometime in November, but LaRavia is establishing himself as a key member of the bench in the meantime.

LaRavia produced 13 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT) while adding five rebounds, three steals and two assists in 23 minutes off the bench during Friday's 117-112 win over Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

After starting the previous two games, the fourth-year forward got bumped back to the second unit as Luka Doncic returned to action, but LaRavia still delivered a season high in steals while scoring in double digits for the third time in the last four contests. His minutes could shrink further once LeBron James (back) is cleared to return, but LaRavia should still play an important role off the Lakers' bench in the short term.

LaRavia will come off the bench for Friday's game in Memphis, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

LaRavia started the past two games with the Lakers banged up, but Marcus Smart (quad) and Luka Doncic (finger) are back for Friday's game, so LaRavia will return to a reserve role. Through three games as a reserve this season, LaRavia owns averages of 7.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 25.4 minutes a night.

LaRavia logged 27 points (10-11 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-5 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-115 win over the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Although the Lakers were a shell of themselves with several players out with injury, LaRavia took advantage of the start Wednesday and shot a near-perfect game alongside Austin Reaves, who hit the game-winning shot at the buzzer. LaRavia's performance could shake things up in a rotation that previously featured Marcus Smart (quad) and Gabe Vincent (ankle) in the first unit.

LaRavia is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

LaRavia will make his first start of the season -- and first as a Laker -- with Luka Doncic (finger), Gabe Vincent (ankle) and Marcus Smart (quadriceps) all sidelined. Through three games this season, he's averaging 7.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 25.7 minutes per contest.

LaRavia racked up 11 points (3-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 33 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 127-120 victory over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

It was the best game of the young season for LaRavia, who saw increased minutes after Gabe Vincent (ankle) got injured in the third quarter and didn't return. With Luka Doncic (finger) already missing from the Lakers' rotation, pushing Austin Reaves into the backcourt, LaRavia could move into the starting five for Monday's tilt against the Trail Blazers. Through three games, the 23-year-old is averaging 7.3 points, 3.0 boards, 2.0 assists, 1.3 threes and 0.7 steals in 25.3 minutes.
