Nick Smith Jr. shone in the Lakers’ victory over the Kings, tallying 21 points, three rebounds, and one assist, including five three-pointers. Coach JJ Redick indicated Smith’s increased role due to Austin Reaves’ calf injury, which was evident with his 24-minute play. Despite this impressive outing, fantasy managers might want to wait before making decisions, though Tuesday’s game against the Pistons could provide more insights into his potential.
