Rui Hachimura scores team-high 16 points vs. DEN

Rui Hachimura

LAC Forward #28

Player Stats

Rui Hachimura amassed 16 points (5-of-12 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, one assist, two steals and three three-pointers in Wednesday’s exhibition against the Nuggets.

Whether with the Wizards or the Lakers, Hachimura never seemed consistently reliable in fantasy leagues. That may change with the Clippers, especially with Brandon Ingram recovering from a partially ruptured Achilles tendon. The scoring will need to come from somewhere, and Hachimura may be the team’s best currently healthy option outside of Darius Garland. The late-round ADP in Yahoo leagues is fair, with fantasy managers hoping that Rui starts the regular season off strong.

Rui Hachimura

LAC Forward #28

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Rui Hachimura poured in a team-high 14 points (3-of-8 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 18 minutes in Saturday’s preseason game against the Raptors.

With little proven scoring help around him, Hachimura figures to shoulder an outsized offensive burden in his Clippers debut, with most of the opposing defense focused on containing Darius Garland. He got to the line for seven free-throw attempts and led Los Angeles with 14 first-half points. He dropped 21 points in his preseason debut earlier this week. He’s a decent late-round pick in deeper fantasy leagues based on the volume he figures to generate as one of the few reliable scoring threats for Los Angeles.
Rui Hachimura

LAC Forward #28

Rui Hachimura finished with 21 points, five rebounds, a blocked shot and four triples across 15 minutes in Sunday’s 104-101 preseason win over the Warriors.

Hachimura moved from crypto.com Arena to Intuit Dome in the offseason after inking a two-year deal with the Clippers, and he figures to be an integral part of the team’s offensive gameplan. Hachimura’s current ADP suggests he can be had in the ninth or 10th rounds of fantasy drafts, making him a strong value.
Rui Hachimura

LAC Forward #28

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Rui Hachimura has agreed to a two-year, $28 million deal with the Clippers.

According to Charania, the Lakers didn’t cooperate on a potential sign-and-trade, so Hachimura took his talents across town to Inglewood. The Clippers have Derrick Jones Jr. and limited depth at PF, so Hachimura should be an immediate starter. In three full seasons with the Lakers, Hachimura averaged 12 points and 4.2 rebounds while knocking down 42.6% of his three-point attempts.
Rui Hachimura

LAL Forward #28

Rui Hachimura totaled 25 points (9-of-15 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, one block and four three-pointers in the loss to the Thunder on Monday.

Hachimura came alive in the third quarter following a four-point first half. He produced in the midrange and from beyond the arc before repeating the process in the fourth quarter. Hachimura made some big shots to keep the Lakers’ hopes alive down the stretch. Yet, his season ends in a fourth straight victory. Hachimura’s role fluctuated throughout the season, leading to one of his least productive seasons in several years. His fantasy value this season came from efficient scoring, which he didn’t do enough of to really be a difference maker in leagues.
Rui Hachimura

LAL Forward #28

Rui Hachimura accumulated 21 points (7-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, one steal and five three-pointers in Saturday’s Game 3 loss to the Thunder.

As has been the case for the Lakers throughout this series, Game 3 was a tale of two halves. Taking a lead into the intermission for the second consecutive game, the Lakers were outscored 74-49 in the second half. And after scoring 16 points in the first half, Hachimura was limited to five in the second half. With Luka Dončić (hamstring) not close to a return, the Lakers need more consistent production from Hachimura if they’re to extend the series. The Lakers will look to avoid getting swept with a Game 4 victory on Monday night.

LAL Forward #28

Rui Hachimura finished Tuesday’s loss to the Thunder with 18 points (7-of-13 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers.

Hachimura led the Lakers in minutes in Tuesday’s loss. He finished as a team-worst minus-21 in his 37 minutes, but was their best shot-maker on the evening, not named LeBron James. He tied a team-high in three-pointers and nearly reached the 20-point mark, as well, but didn’t make much noise beyond his scoring. He’ll want to figure out how to have more of a positive impact in Game 2.
Luka Dončić

LAL Forward-Guard #77

Luka Dončić (hamstring) is out for Tuesday’s Game 1 against the Thunder.

On April 29, it was reported that Dončić, who strained his left hamstring in an April 2 loss to the Thunder, had no return timeline. He’ll remain out at the start of the second-round series, with the hope that the Lakers will get Dončić back at some point. Marcus Smart and Rui Hachimura will continue to play significant minutes until Dončić can play.
Rui Hachimura

LAL Forward #28

Rui Hachimura amassed 21 points (8-of-15 FGs), six rebounds, two assists, one block and five three-pointers in Friday’s Game 6 win over the Rockets.

On a night when three Lakers finished in double figures, Hachimura recorded his second 20-point game of the series. The 6-foot-8 forward shot 5-of-9 from beyond the arc in Game 6, and he was 17-of-31 for the series. The Lakers won’t have much margin for error against Oklahoma City in the second round; Hachimura must be consistently productive in the series, which opens on Tuesday night.

LAL Forward #28

Rui Hachimura tallied 13 points (6-of-10 FGs), three rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Sunday’s Game 4 loss to the Rockets.

Hachimura shot the ball well in Game 4, making 60 percent of his attempts. However, it wasn’t enough on a night when the Lakers’ high scorer, Deandre Ayton, was ejected halfway through the third quarter and only three starters finished in double figures. Hachimura and the Lakers will look to close out the series on Wednesday when they host Game 5.

LAL Forward #28

Rui Hachimura had 22 points (8-of-14 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Friday’s Game 3 win over the Rockets.

Hachimura set the tone right away in Game 3, dropping 16 points without missing from the field in the first quarter. The 28-year-old small forward finished with 22 points, which was second only to LeBron James on the Lakers. Hachimura had a great night while Luke Kennard, who averaged 25 points in the first two games of the series, had just 14 points.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 17 points (5-of-12 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), one rebound, three assists, one block and two three-pointers in Thursday’s exhibition against the Rockets.

Gilgeous-Alexander was -24 in 26 minutes in the 116-89 loss to the Rockets. Still, he was able to score 17 points on 12 attempts and made all five of his free throws. The reigning two-time NBA MVP typically comes off the board third overall in fantasy drafts this year.

Şengün played 24 minutes and filled up the stat sheet in the 116-89 victory over the Thunder, though he missed both of his three-point attempts. The 24-year-old center is coming off a down year by his standards, but is still an early second-round pick in most fantasy drafts this year.

Bogdan Bogdanović had 15 points (5-of-9 FGs), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and five three-pointers in the exhibition against the Thunder on Thursday.

Bogdanović might want to save some for the regular season. The 34-year-old shooting guard came off the bench, played 16 minutes and dropped 15 points on five made three-pointers. Bogdanović should provide valuable floor spacing and outside shooting when he plays, but isn’t expected to be much of a factor in fantasy basketball this season.

The 30-year-old point guard led the Knicks with 20 points in the 122-120 victory. Brunson has averaged at least 26 points in each of the last three years, making him a rock solid pick late in the second round of fantasy drafts.

Barnes torched the Knicks’ backups for 19 points on Tuesday. With most of the Knicks’ starters playing Thursday, the results were pretty much the same for Barnes, who had another excellent game. The 25-year-old forward is a fantasy stud that can be had in the second round of drafts this year.

Sixers beat writer Adam Aaronson reports that Anfernee Simons (hamstring) and Adem Bona (foot) were full participants in Thursday’s practice.

The full participation in practice is encouraging, but neither player will take the court for Friday’s preseason finale against the Celtics, likely for precautionary reasons. The Sixers play the Knicks on Tuesday for opening night, so fantasy managers rostering Bona and/or Simons should keep an eye on their respective statuses ahead of Tuesday’s tip-off.
