Collin Sexton (leg) will miss Wednesday’s season opener against the Warriors.

Sexton missed the preseason, and his Lakers debut will have to wait while he recovers from a right soleus strain. In Sexton’s absence, more minutes could be available for Ziaire Williams, Quentin Grimes and Bronny James.

Collin Sexton (leg) is questionable to play against the Warriors on Wednesday.

Sexton has been sidelined throughout the preseason with a leg injury, but there is a chance he returns to take on Golden State. Considering he has been sidelined for a while, his role may be limited for his first game, but he will eventually play a significant reserve role for the Lakers. Bronny James may be part of the rotation if Sexton is out.

Marcus Smart (ankle) is out for Tuesday’s game against the Spurs.

Smart is one of four key contributors ruled out for Tuesday’s game, the second in as many nights for the Lakers. Fantasy managers should expect to see Luke Kennard, Dalton Knecht and Bronny James play significant minutes, as Austin Reaves and Luka Dončić are also out.

Bronny James (leg) is out for Sunday’s game against the Knicks.

James will not be available for Sunday’s game after initially being listed as questionable. His absence won’t affect fantasy basketball, and there may have been even fewer minutes available to the second-year guard due to Austin Reaves’ potential return from a strained calf.

Bronny James (leg) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Knicks.

James’ availability does not affect fantasy basketball, as he is on the back end of the Lakers’ rotation on most nights, if he plays at all. And with Austin Reaves (calf) potentially returning, the chances of Bronny playing decrease even more.

Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves, Bronny James, Jake LaRavia and Deandre Ayton will start against the Bucks on Saturday.

With Rui Hachimura (calf) and Marcus Smart (illness) both sidelined against Milwaukee, James and LaRavia will enter the starting unit. This will be the first start of the season for Bronny, while LaRavia has been in and out of the opening lineup all season. LaRavia should be the better streaming option for fantasy managers.

Austin Reaves (groin) is out for Monday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Reaves played 38 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Heat, and he joins Luka Dončić on the sideline for Monday’s game in Portland. Due to the absences, Dalton Knecht and Bronny James will likely see their playing time increase, but neither is worth the streaming risk in most leagues. Jake LaRavia, however, is, especially after he played 35 minutes on Sunday.

Luka Dončić (leg) has been ruled out against the Trail Blazers on Monday.

Dončić will miss the second leg of the Lakers’ back-to-back, which opens up plenty of opportunity for the rest of the team, especially with Austin Reaves (groin) out as well. Marcus Smart and Bronny James should occupy the ball-handling responsibility, though everyone that is available will get the opportunity to step up.
