Nance will be rested for Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Serena Winters of Lakers Nation reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nance has battled some nagging soreness in his knees and ankles over the second half of the season, so the non-contending Lakers have been up front about offering him rest days periodically. The expectation is that Nance will rest Tuesday but be available Wednesday as the Lakers and Clippers play a back-to-back, home-and-home set.

Nance will sit out Monday's game against the Jazz for rest purposes, Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Lakers will continue with their plan to sit Nance out for one game of back-to-back sets for the remainder of the season, as the team looks to preserve the rookie while he deals with lingering soreness in his right knee. If the injury is affecting Nance's production, it hasn't really shown of late, as he's been an active presence off the bench when called upon. He played 27 minutes in Sunday's 101-88 loss to the Wizards, tallying nine points (4-8 FG, 1-2 FT), seven boards, four steals, and one assist in 27 minutes.

Nance (rest) is expected to be available for Wednesday's game against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
After Nance experienced soreness in his surgically-repaired right knee in February, coach Byron Scott announced that the rookie would be rested for one half of back-to-back sets through the remainder of the season. Since Nance sat out Tuesday's 107-100 win over the Grizzlies, it stands to reason that he'll be available off the bench Wednesday. He should see time at both forward spots.

Nance will sit out Tuesday against the Grizzlies on the first night of a back-to-back set, Mark Medina of the LA Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nance has been dealing with recurring soreness in his right knee, and in order to minimize further damage the Lakers have been holding him out of one half of back-to-backs. The rookie will sit Tuesday with the expectation that he'll return to availability Wednesday against Phoenix.

Coach Byron Scott said Nance could make some starts at small forward over the Lakers' final 13 games of the season.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Byron Scott has primarily been using Nance in tandem with Julius Randle at power forward this season, but the 6-foot-9 rookie is among the more athletic players on the team, and shouldn't have too much difficulty defending opposing small forwards when called upon. At this stage in his development, Nance's perimeter game remains a little more underdeveloped, but with the lottery-bound Lakers likely viewing neither Metta World Peace, Nick Young, or Ryan Kelly the team's small forward of the future, Nance should be first in line for starting opportunities at the position the rest of the way on days when Kobe Bryant is too banged up to play.

Nance collected 12 points (6-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, and one steal across 25 minutes during the Lakers' 106-98 loss versus the Kings on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Nance has seen 20 minutes or more in four consecutive contests. However, he is not a reliable option outside of deeper leagues, though he could be a decent cheap option in DFS if his minutes remain fairly steady.

Nance (knee) will be available for Friday night's game against the Hawks, the team announced.
EDGE Analysis
Nance sat out Wednesday's game against Denver to rest his right knee, but will suit up Friday. The rookie has been averaging 15 minutes per game since returning from his knee injury, and Nance's minutes will likely remain around that mark as he continues to recover.

Nance is expected to be available to play in Tuesday's game against the Nets, but he'll sit out Wednesday's matchup with the Nuggets, Mark Medina of L.A. Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nance continues to deal with soreness in his right knee, so the Lakers are going to rest him during back-to-back sets during the month of March. He'll suit up Tuesday versus the Nets, but will be sidelined come Wednesday's outing with the Nuggets. Nance has seen 15 minutes or less in each of his last three games, so he could struggle to post fantasy worthy numbers despite being available to play Tuesday.

Nance (knee ) had three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, and one steal across 15 minutes during the Lakers' 128-119 loss to the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Nance was expected to see between 10-15 minutes on Wednesday after tweaking his knee on Monday against the Bucks. Now that Julius Randle is starting, Nance doesn't figure to make much noise in fantasy. However, at least his injury from earlier in the week isn't as serious as it was originally thought to be.

Nance (knee) will be available Wednesday against the Grizzlies, Mark Medina of the LA Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
After going through shootaround Wednesday, Nance will be available off the bench, albeit on a minutes restriction. As a result, he'll likely be capped in the 10-15 minute range, as the team apparently still has some concerns about his right knee, which he tweaked Monday in Milwaukee.
