Nance had 13 points (6-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 11 rebounds, three steals, two assists, and one block in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 109-94 loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Nance finished the campaign with seven double-doubles while appearing in 63 games for the second straight year to begin his career. The sophomore forward benefitted down the stretch from the Lakers' injury situation as well as their decision to rest several veterans. Still, Nance improved his individual numbers in most categories, including scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, blocks, free-throw percentage, and even three-point percentage.

Nance supplied 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 10 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal over 34 minutes in Sunday's 110-109 win over the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Nance has hauled in double-digit rebounds in three of the last four games as he continues to impress over the latter stages of the season. The 24-year-old has averaged 10.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks over five April games, and he's parlayed the extra opportunity afforded by the season-ending ankle injury to Ivica Zubac into meaningful production.

Nance finished with 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two blocked shots and a steal over 21 minutes in Wednesday's 102-95 win against the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Nance struggled in the month of March, but he is finishing up strong since flipping the calendar to April. The second-year player is averaging 11.8 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals over three April outings, finishing up the campaign on a high note.

Nance scored 12 points (4-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT) while adding 14 rebounds, three steals, an assist and a block in 40 minutes during Sunday's 108-103 win over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

It's his fifth double-double of the season, but his first in almost two months. The 40 minutes were a season high for Nance, who's had trouble staying healthy this season, but the 14 boards tied his career high and suggests the second-year player could be ready to finish the campaign on a high note.

Nance will be in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Clippers, Mark Medina of the L.A. Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nance will draw the start in place of the injured Ivica Zubac, who has been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to a right high-ankle sprain. Nance has played at least 24 minutes in each of the Lakers' past four contest, so expect around 30 minutes from the big man alongside fellow forward Julius Randle as Tarik Black and Thomas Robinson are slated to come off the bench.

Nance collected four points (2-6 FG), 11 rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 24 minutes in a 119-108 loss to the Wizards on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Luke Walton's decision to shut down Luol Deng after the All-Star break and gradually phase Nick Young out of the rotation has worked to the benefit of Nance, who has picked up 20-plus minutes in all but three of the Lakers' 16 games in March. While Nance's scoring contributions remain volatile from game to game, he's been a regular fixture on the glass, having now pulled down at least seven boards in three consecutive contests. With Walton eager to give his youngsters plenty of run over the final two weeks of the season, Nance have some usefulness for owners in deeper leagues during the fantasy playoffs.

Nance generated nine points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-5 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over 29 minutes in Sunday's 97-81 loss to the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Nance has logged 35 and 29 minutes, respectively, over the last two games and has produced 11.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists over that span. His spot in the frontcourt rotation is secure, although he has logged two eight-minute outings in the last six contests. Otherwise, Nance's minutes are typically in the 20s and he remains a viable grab off the wire for those needing scoring and rebounding. He's also enjoyed a solid month in the steals category, with the second-year big man notching at least one theft in nine of 12 March games.

Nance managed just two points (1-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt) with eight rebounds, three steals and two assists over 23 minutes in Monday's 129-101 loss against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Nance had been pretty productive in the month of March despite dealing with a nagging wrist injury, but this game was an absolute disaster. At least he salvaged the stat line with a healthy amount of boards and steals. He continues to see plenty of minutes off the bench to make him worthy of a roster spot in most deeper fantasy formats.

Nance (wrist) talled 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal over 27 minutes in Thursday's 122-110 win over the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Nance continues to play effectively through his wrist issue, and he's now shot 61.5 percent over the first four games of March. His eight rebounds Thursday represented his best effort on the boards sinc Feb. 24, while his scoring total was his highest since Feb. 10. Nance has seen at least 20 minutes in all but one of the seven games since the All-Star break, so his secure spot in the rotation continues to keep him as a viable option in deeper formats.

Nance (wrist) will be available to play in Thursday' tilt against the Suns, Mark Medina of the L.A. Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nance had a probable designation heading into Thursday's game due to a sprained wrist, but it was expected he would play after participating in the Laker's last two outings with the same issue. Over his past four games, Nance has been averaging 5.5 points and 4.0 rebounds across 20.5 minutes per game.
