With both players sidelined and Luka Doncic (calf) questionable, Jarred Vanderbilt and Jordan Goodwin could pick up additional minutes in the Lakers' final game before the All-Star break.
Doncic will make his debut for the Lakers and return to the court for the first time since Christmas Day. Head coach JJ Redick said the plan is to "ease Luka back in", so he may not play his typical workload in his first game back. Gabe Vincent and Dorian Finney-Smith will be pushed back to the bench with Doncic and LeBron available.
Initially questionable for Monday's game, Doncic is now probable. Gabe Vincent started Saturday's win over the Pacers, but he'll offer minimal fantasy value with Luka in the lineup. The few who streamed Gabe on Saturday can drop him onto the waiver wire.
With LeBron James (ankle) out, Vincent made his sixth start of the season and first since December 28. He was most valuable in the assists category, tallying a season-high seven helpers. Vincent also provided a few 3-pointers and steals, so there was some value despite the modest stat line. With James and Luka Doncic likely playing on Monday against the Jazz, there's no need to hold onto Vincent if you streamed him.
In addition to Luka Doncic not being ready to make his Lakers debut (that may happen on Monday), LeBron James (ankle) is not available. Vincent moves into the starting lineup, which boosts his fantasy value. Given the high-profile absences, he's worth streaming in deep leagues. The other four starters are unchanged.
