Jake LaRavia followed up his recent impressive performance with another stellar game against the Heat, scoring 25 points on 10-of-13 shooting while adding eight rebounds, three assists, and four steals. This marks his second consecutive standout game, underscoring his growing role in the Lakers’ lineup. Averaging 21.7 points and 7.0 rebounds over the last three contests, LaRavia is showing signs of becoming a reliable contributor for the team.

Jake LaRavia is set to make his first start as a Laker against the Trail Blazers on Monday due to injuries to Gabe Vincent and Marcus Smart. While Jarred Vanderbilt is expected to offer strong defensive support in his season debut as a starter, LaRavia holds more potential for filling the stat sheet, making him an intriguing option for fantasy managers looking for upside.

In Sunday’s defeat against the Warriors, Jake LaRavia contributed 10 points, three assists, and a steal in 20 minutes. He achieved a 50% shooting rate but had limited influence defensively. While LaRavia may offer sporadic scoring off the bench, his current playing time suggests limited value in standard fantasy basketball leagues, making him a potential consideration only in deeper formats.
