Beverley closed Thursday's 103-97 loss to the Clippers with five points (1-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 33 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Beverley is just 2-for-12 from the field to start the season, but he's been a menace defensively, racking up six steals and four blocks in 58 minutes. Both his offense and defense should normalize as the season continues, but as long as he sees minutes in the upper-20s to low-30s, Beverley is someone to keep an eye on in standard leagues, especially as a streaming option on four-game weeks.

Beverley notched three points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, two blocks and four steals over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 123-109 loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Beverley was limited by early four trouble but still managed to chip in across the board in the loss. The scoring was obviously less than ideal but as we know, Beverley's value tends to come from his ability to contribute elsewhere. Given he played 25 minutes even with the foul issues, it appears as though he will be logging significant minutes as long as he can remain healthy.

Beverley will start in Wednesday's preseason matchup with Minnesota, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beverley missed Sunday's preseason game against the Warriors due to rest. However, with Beverley starting tonight, it appears that he will also be good to go for the team's regular-season opener.

Beverley is out for Sunday's preseason game against the Warriors due to rest purposes, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beverley played in the Lakers' first three preseason games of the year but will get a night off for Sunday's matchup. Kendrick Nunn and Austin Reaves should handle increased run since Russell Westbrook (rest) is also out.

Beverley will come off the bench for Thursday's preseason game against the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Beverley drew his first start of the preseason Wednesday against the Suns, but he'll move to the bench Thursday as Scotty Pippen replaces him in the starting five. Rounding out Thursday's starting unit will be Austin Reaves, Max Christie, Wenyen Gabriel and Thomas Bryant.

Beverley will start Wednesday's preseason game against the Suns, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Darvin Ham indicated pregame that he wanted to get a look at the Lakers' small-ball unit Wednesday, so Beverley and Austin Reaves will replace Kendrick Nunn and Damion Jones in the starting lineup. Beverley saw 12 minutes of action in Monday's exhibition loss to the Kings, contributing eight points, three rebounds and one assist.

The Lakers are expected to finalize a deal Thursday to acquire Beverley from the Jazz in exchange for guard Talen Horton-Tucker and forward Stanley Johnson, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beverley was dealt to Utah earlier in the offseason as part of the deal that sent Rudy Gobert to Minnesota, but the 34-year-old guard was never expected to remain with a Jazz team that looks to be careening toward a rebuild. With Los Angeles, Beverley should help shore up a perimeter defense that struggled mightily in 2022-23, though he may not see enough minutes or offensive usage to profile as anything more than a back-end roster option in most rotisserie leagues. Assuming Russell Westbrook remains on the Lakers' roster heading into the season, Beverley could settle into a starting role at shooting guard.

Beverley -- along with Malik Beasley, Walker Kessler, Jarred Vanderbilt, Leandro Bolmaro and four first-round picks -- was traded from the Timberwolves to the Jazz on Friday for Rudy Gobert, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beverley was a crucial part of the Wolves' playoff run last year, and he averaged 11.0 points, 4.8 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks in Minnesota's six-game, first-round series against the Grizzlies. He now goes to a Jazz team that's presumably rebuilding after dealing Gobert, and it's not clear what his role will be with Mike Conley, Jordan Clarkson, Malik Beasley and Donovan Mitchell ahead of him on the depth chart.

Beverley notched 14 points (5-13 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, five assists, two blocks and three steals across 34 minutes during Thursday's 104-95 loss to the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran guard recorded multiple blocks and steals in the same game for the first time since Feb. 15. Beverley's usually made a bigger impact as a defender throughout his career, and through the first three games of this series, he's averaging 10.0 points, 5.0 assists, 3.3 boards, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks.

Beverley amassed seven points (2-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 109-104 victory over the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

When the Clippers didn't give Beverley the contract he wanted in the offseason, the veteran jumped ship and joined the Timberwolves. He made his former team painfully aware of what they gave up in the dramatic come-from-behind win. His role as defensive stalwart and agitator was crucial for the victory, although his intangibles weren't fully reflected in his stat line.
