  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Plays 50 minutes in comeback win

    Russell accumulated 29 points (7-22 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 12 assists, seven rebounds, two steals and one block across 50 minutes during Tuesday's 128-124 double-overtime win over the Bucks.

    With LeBron James (ankle) sitting out and with the game requiring two overtime periods, Russell and Austin Reaves (48 minutes) took on huge workloads out of the backcourt. Though he struggled with his shot and didn't score his first points until midway through the second quarter, Russell played a key role in helping the Lakers come back from a fourth-quarter deficit that was as much as 17 points with less than eight minutes remaining in regulation. He drilled a pair of jumpers and hit a pair of free throws in the fourth quarter to help send the game to overtime, then hit two more game-tying free throws in the first overtime in addition to handing out three assists. With James expected back for Wednesday's game in Memphis, Russell will likely see a downturn in the 25.2 percent usage rate he handled Tuesday.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Not listed on injury report

    Russell (illness) isn't listed on the Lakers' injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

    Russell missed Sunday's win over the Pacers due to an illness but will be back in action Tuesday. He could see increased usage versus the Bucks, as LeBron James (ankle) is listed as doubtful.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: New franchise three-point king

    Russell finished Friday's 101-94 victory over Philadelphia with 14 points (4-13 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 37 minutes.

    The 28-year-old point guard set a new franchise record in the first quarter when he drained his 184th three-pointer of the season, breaking Nick Van Exel's mark from 1994-95. Russell has hit for multiple threes in 13 of 14 games since the All-Star break, a stretch in which he's averaged 20.0 points, 6.4 assists, 3.7 boards, 3.6 threes and 1.0 steals while shooting 44.0 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Ties franchise three-point record

    Russell notched 27 points (8-14 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 136-105 win over the Hawks.

    Russell had his stroke working Monday, as he went 6-for-10 from beyond the arc, marking the seventh time this season he has drained at least six triples in a contest. The veteran point guard is up to 183 three-pointers on the campaign, tying him with Nick Van Exel for the franchise's all-time single-season record. Russell complemented his sharpshooting with 10 dimes against Atlanta, marking the second straight game in which he has reached double-digit assists after failing to do so in his previous 11 contests.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Delivers double-double Saturday

    Russell recorded 23 points (9-21 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, 13 assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Saturday's 128-121 loss to the Warriors.

    Russell didn't have his best shooting performance since he needed 21 shots to score 23 points, but he still posted a strong double-double after dazzling as a playmaker. Russell is currently going through one of the most productive stretches of the season, averaging 19.9 points, 6.3 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game since the All-Star break while shooting 47.6 percent from the field and 42.7 percent from three-point range.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Inconsequential in loss

    Russell contributed six points (2-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 120-107 loss to Sacramento.

    Russell found no offensive rhythm Wednesday despite the Lakers shooting 43.8 percent from deep as a team. Russell only committed two turnovers and posted a minus-4 net rating despite a 13-point defeat, so Wednesday's outing is best perceived as a night when his shots just didn't fall.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Explodes for 44 points Friday

    Russell totaled 44 points (17-25 FG, 9-12 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and one block over 38 minutes during Friday's 123-122 victory over the Bucks.

    The Lakers were without LeBron James (ankle) on Friday, and it was Russell who took the initiative to make up for the All-Star forward's absence. The veteran point guard led Los Angeles with a season-high 44 points, 21 of which came in the fourth quarter and the final two of which came on a jumper with 5.9 seconds remaining to give his team the win. Russell also tied a career high with nine triples and found time to dish out nine assists, putting together one of the best all-around performances of his career. After dealing with trade rumors earlier in the campaign, Russell has emerged as a critical piece of the Lakers' offense, scoring 20-plus points in five of nine games since the All-Star break and knocking down multiple triples in every contest during that span.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Awful night in loss

    Russell closed with 10 points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 130-120 loss to Sacramento.

    Russell couldn't get anything going offensively and struggled mightily on defense, allowing De'Aaron Fox to put up a season-high 44 points. Although Anthony Davis and LeBron James run the show, the Lakers need excellent output from every starter to be successful, and the system doesn't work as well if Russell can't move the ball. He is still a quality fantasy asset despite the bad result.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Scores 26 in stellar outing

    Russell finished with 26 points (9-17 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and four steals across 34 minutes during Monday's 116-104 win over the Thunder.

    Russell drained five three-pointers on the way to his excellent total. He was also key on the defensive end, matching his second-best total of the season with four steals. LeBron James sent the ball back out to Russell often when he was open, allowing for a few easy looks beyond the arc. The Lakers have now won 10 of their last 14 and are humming like a well-oiled machine with Russell at point guard.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Posts 22 points in OT win

    Russell totaled 22 points (9-21 FG, 4-11 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 44 minutes during Thursday's 134-131 overtime victory over the Wizards.

    Russell contributed in every major category during the narrow win. The veteran guard is executing one of his most accurate shooting years as a pro, and his three-point stroke has enjoyed the most improvement. He's connecting on 41.7 percent beyond the arc this season, which is a career high. Russell is also averaging 2.0 turnovers per game, which marks the lowest percentage of his nine-year career.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Strong from deep in 20-point outing

    Russell racked up 20 points (8-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Sunday's 123-113 loss to Phoenix.

    Russell led all Lakers in threes while ending as one of three players with 20 or more points and finishing three assists short of the double-digit mark to boost Los Angeles offensively. Russell has connected on four or more threes in 17 games this year, including in three of his last six contests. Over his last 10 appearances, Russell has surpassed the 20-point mark five times.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Sniffs double-double in loss

    Russell logged 18 points (6-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Thursday's 128-110 loss to the Warriors.

    Russell had an average shooting night but was able to provide fantasy support with nine assists. Russell collected a season-high 17 assists before the break against Utah, and although the guard has notched double-digit assists six times this season, he depends on shot volume to be truly successful. LeBron James (ankle) has been the primary dime-dropper this season, so fantasy managers should expect a fantasy-point uptick assist-wise when James is absent.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Boosts offense in season-high game

    Russell notched 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, 17 assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 138-122 win over Utah.

    Russell led all players in Wednesday's contest in assists while setting a season-high mark in dimes and ending one rebound shy of a triple-double in an impressive offensive showcase. Russell has handed out 10 or more assists in six games this season, recording a double-double in each of those outings. The point guard has been on a tear since the trade deadline, tallying 14 or more assists in two of his last six appearances.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Posts 21 points in win

    Russell amassed 21 points (8-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one block across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 125-111 victory over the Pistons.

    Although Russell logged 32 minutes, he shared time with Spencer Dinwiddie, who made his debut with the Lakers. Russell's starting gig is safe, but Dinwiddie proved his worth early and often in the win. A potential downtick in output for Russell is a strong possibility, although the differential should be slight.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Returns to lead team with 30 points

    Russell supplied 30 points (9-19 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Friday's 139-122 victory over the Pelicans.

    Russell was the centerpiece of a dynamic 87-point first half for the Lakers, who were humming on all cylinders with five players scoring 20-plus points in the win. Although Russell's superlative play gives him a firm hold on the starting job, free agent Spencer Dinwiddie was watching from the stands and appears to be on the verge of signing with the team. Although he would serve in the second unit as relief for Russell and Austin Reaves, he's a substantial upgrade in the slot. Russell could lose a minute or two if the signing goes through.
