Lakers' Anthony Davis: Leads Lakers to victory Saturday
Davis scored 31 points (12-20 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT) while adding 14 rebounds, an assist, two steals and a block across 37 minutes in Saturday's 104-99 win over the Pelicans.
Dalton Knecht and LeBron James posted impressive performances Saturday, but Davis was the main offensive weapon for Los Angeles and once again carried the team in scoring. This was the big man's eighth game with at least 30 points in his 12 appearances thus far.

Lakers' LeBron James: Takes over in fourth quarter
James delivered 21 points (8-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and a steal across 37 minutes in Saturday's 104-99 win over the Pelicans.
James was unable to extend his streak of consecutive triple-doubles to five games and was having a relatively down performance early, at least by his recent standards. However, he took over in the fourth quarter when the Lakers needed him most and scored 11 of his 21 points in the final 12 minutes. James' triple-double streak ended in this low-scoring win, but he remains an above-average source of fantasy production even though he's only a few weeks away from turning 40 years old.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Sets new career high in points
Knecht finished with 27 points (10-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 37 minutes in Saturday's 104-99 win over the Pelicans.
Knecht continues to impress with his play and made the most of the third start of his career, taking advantage of the absences of both Rui Hachimura (ankle) and Cam Reddish (leg). The 27-point output was a career-best mark for the rookie, who also set new personal bests in field goals made while tying his mark for more threes in a single game. Knecht's place in the lineup will depend on Hachimura's return, but the rookie is doing everything in his power to continue seeing a sizable role in the rotation.

Lakers' Max Christie: Starting Saturday
Christie is in the Lakers' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
Christie will make his first start of the 2024-25 regular season Saturday due to Rui Hachimura (ankle) and Cam Reddish (leg) both being sidelined. Christie's playing time has been inconsistent, but he did play 30 minutes off the bench against the Spurs on Friday and finished with 11 points, three rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block.

Lakers' Cam Reddish: Not playing Saturday
Reddish (leg) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
Reddish strained the tendon in his lower right leg against the Spurs on Friday, and he will sit for the second leg of the Lakers' back-to-back Saturday. That leaves the door open for D'Angelo Russell to return to the starting lineup alongside Austin Reaves and rookie Dalton Knecht.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Unlikey to play Saturday
Hachimura (ankle) is now listed as doubtful for Saturday night's game against the Pelicans, Khobi Price of The Orange County Registeri reports.
Hachimura was initially listed as questionable for Saturday's game. However, it appears the 2019 first-round pick is set to miss a third straight game due to a sprained right ankle, which opens the door for Dalton Knecht to make his third start of the 2024-25 regular season.

Lakers' Cam Reddish: Questionable for Saturday
Reddish is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Pelicans due to a right peroneal strain.
Reddish appears to have strained the tendon in his lower right leg that joins his ankle and foot and could miss Saturday's contest. If Reddish is forced to sit out, Gabe Vincent and Max Christie are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Hachimura (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Pelicans.
Hachimura is in danger of missing his second straight contest Saturday due to a sprained right ankle. If Hachimura is ultimately ruled out, Dalton Knecht will likely draw another start in his absence.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Chips in 14 points vs. San Antonio
Knecht logged 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and three rebounds over 26 minutes in Friday's 120-115 win over the Spurs.
Knecht made the second start of his NBA career Friday on the heels of a 19-point performance against the Grizzlies on Wednesday. The rookie first-round pick had just three points in his first start Nov. 6 against Memphis, but he had a more efficient outing this time around. Knecht could make his third career start Saturday against the Pelicans if Rui Hachimura continues to be sidelined due to a sprained right ankle.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Drops 40 points vs. Spurs
Davis logged 40 points (14-26 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 36 minutes in Friday's 120-115 win over the Spurs.
Despite playing through left plantar fasciitis and an eye injury, Davis showed no signs of slowing down Friday as he dropped a season-high 40 points against DPOY favorite Victor Wembanyama. Davis has gotten off to perhaps his best start in his 13th NBA season, and through the first 11 games of the 2024-25 regular season he is averaging a career-best 31.1 points on 55.7 percent shooting, 10.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.2 steals over 34.9 minutes per game.

James finished Friday's 120-115 win over the Spurs with 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 16 rebounds, 12 assists and one steal over 38 minutes.
James made history Wednesday by being the oldest player in NBA history to record a triple-double in three consecutive games, which he extended to four games Friday. He continues to play at an elite level despite inching closer to 40 years old, and to start the 2024-25 regular season he is averaging 23.5 points on 52.3 percent shooting (including 44.6 percent from three on 5.4 3PA/G), 9.6 assists and 8.8 rebounds over 35.3 minutes per game.
