LaRavia posted 26 points (9-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Sunday's 120-114 victory over Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

LaRavia continues to find his groove in his new surroundings, and he reminded the Grizzlies of what they gave away last season with a convincing total. Although Rui Hachimura (calf) will likely reclaim his starting role when he recovers, LaRavia is making a case for more playing time at the position, as the team looks more energetic with him in the first unit.

LaRavia closed Friday's 128-121 win over the Grizzlies with 21 points (8-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Making his second straight start while Rui Hachimura (calf) is on the shelf, LaRavia scored more than 20 points for the first time since Nov. 2, when he dropped 25 points on the Heat. The fourth-year forward has scored in double digits in five of the last seven games (four starts), averaging 11.7 points, 5.9 boards, 2.7 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.3 threes and 0.9 blocks in 31.0 minutes a night over that stretch.

LaRavia posted nine points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 128-106 loss to the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

LaRavia took Rui Hachimura's (calf) place in the starting lineup and failed to get anything going offensively. LaRavia connected on only three shots in the game, but he salvaged his line somewhat with a season-high four steals. The extended time didn't help his single-digit scoring trend, as he's failed to hit 10-plus points 18 times this season.

LaRavia is in the Lakers' starting lineup against the Pistons on Tuesday, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

LaRavia will make his 10th start of the regular season Tuesday due to the absence of Rui Hachimura (calf). LaRavia has scored in double digits in four of his last five outings, and over that span he has averaged 10.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.0 threes, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks over 28.4 minutes per game.

LaRavia ended Sunday's 125-101 win over Sacramento with 11 points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 25 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Although Marcus Smart is currently the Lakers' first man up with Austin Reaves (calf) sidelined, LaRavia is certainly showing more heart and desire offensively. While Smart's defensive skills are well-documented, he's plodded through some games without much to show for it, and he'll lose more minutes to LaRavia and Nick Smith if he continues the slump. LaRavia has started nine games this season and will be ready to jump back into the starting lineup if the need arises.

LaRavia supplied 12 points (5-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 103-88 loss to the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

LaRavia stepped in to provide support for a snake-bit Lakers roster, and he turned in his first double-double of the season during his eighth appearance in the starting lineup. If LaRavia can keep up this level of production, the Lakers might be able to play even ball through the end of the year with easier matchups against the Kings and Grizzlies coming up next week.

LaRavia amassed six points (2-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 21 minutes during Sunday's 116-114 victory over the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

LaRavia couldn't get his shot to fall but remained active on both ends of the court, tying his best marks of the season in both blocks and rebounds while accounting for two of his team's 13 steals on the night. He's had a few flashy performances here or there so far this season, but he likely isn't worth rostering in most league formats.

LaRavia (face) returned to Sunday's game against the 76ers, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

LaRavia left in the first quarter of Sunday's game after taking a hit to the face, but he was cleared to return in the second frame after being evaluated by medical staff. His return means less minutes will be available for Gabe Vincent and Dalton Knecht.

LaRavia (face) went to the locker room during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the 76ers, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

LaRavia took a hit to the face late in the first quarter and went to the locker room after being subbed out. Dalton Knecht and Gabe Vincent are in line for a bump in minutes off the bench for as long as LaRavia is out of the game.

LaRavia will come off the bench Sunday against the 76ers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

LeBron James is back and starting, so LaRavia will return to a reserve role. As a member of the second unit this season, LaRavia owns averages of 8.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 three-pointers and 1.1 steals per contest.
