Reaves registered 17 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine assists and three rebounds over 39 minutes during Saturday's 131-108 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals. Reaves paced the Lakers' offense in the first half with 12 points and eight assists, though he was unable to maintain that level of production in the second. It's been an inconsistent postseason run for Reaves, perhaps due in part to the oblique strain that caused him to miss nine consecutive games from April 5. He'll look to help the Lakers to a Game 4 victory to extend the series.

Reaves registered 17 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine assists and three rebounds over 39 minutes during Saturday's 131-108 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

He'll look to help the Lakers to a Game 4 victory to extend the series.
Hachimura logged 21 points (7-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 39 minutes during the Lakers' 131-108 loss to the Thunder on Saturday in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals. Hachimura paced the Lakers with 16 of his team-high 21 points in the first half, though he went just 2-for-7 from the floor in the second. It was the second time in the playoffs that he connected on five three-pointers after not reaching that mark in any contest during the regular season. The Lakers enter Game 4 down 3-0 in the series, and a loss could be Hachimura's last outing with the team, as he'll enter the offseason an unrestricted free agent.
James recorded 19 points (7-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight assists, six rebounds and one steal over 37 minutes during Saturday's 131-108 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals. James and the Lakers' offense struggled during Saturday's loss, with the future Hall of Famer going 5-for-16 from the field through the first three quarters. He still put together a balanced stat line and finished second on the Lakers in points, assists and rebounds. The Lakers find themselves down 3-0 in the series, and a loss Monday in Game 4 would eliminate them from postseason contention. It's fair to wonder if a loss Monday would be the last time James dons a Lakers jersey, as he's set to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.
Holmgren logged 18 points (9-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and one block over 31 minutes during Saturday's 131-108 win over the Lakers in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals. Holmgren paced the Thunder in the first half, with 12 of his 18 points coming over the first two quarters of Saturday's game. He co-led Oklahoma City in rebounds and finished as the team's third-leading scorer behind Ajay Mitchell (24 points) and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (23 points). Holmgren has scored at least 18 points in five of seven playoff games, and in the postseason he is averaging 19.0 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.7 threes, 2.0 blocks and 1.4 steals over 30.9 minutes per contest.
Gilgeous-Alexander logged 23 points (7-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine assists, four rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 33 minutes during Saturday's 131-108 win over the Lakers in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals. The Lakers held Gilgeous-Alexander in check for most of Saturday's game, though the reigning MVP still managed to crack the 20-point threshold and finished second on the Thunder in both points and assists behind Ajay Mitchell (24 points and 10 assists). Gilgeous-Alexander's stats in the semifinals haven't been great in comparison to the first round of the playoffs or the regular season, but that can be chalked up to the Lakers' defense homing in on the superstar guard. Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder will look to sweep the series in Game 4 on Monday.
Mitchell logged 24 points (10-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 assists, four rebounds and three steals over 30 minutes during the Thunder's 131-108 win over the Lakers in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals on Saturday. Mitchell came on strong in the second half, scoring nine points in both the third and fourth quarters to help the Thunder separate from the Lakers to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the series. The 2024 second-rounder also led his team in assists, tying a season high that he set back in the regular season against the Kings on Nov. 7. Mitchell has started in each of the Thunder's last five games due to the absence of Jalen Williams (hamstring), and in that five-game span, Mitchell has averaged 19.8 points, 5.6 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.6 threes over 30.8 minutes per contest.
Mobley recorded 13 points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-10 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 36 minutes during Saturday's 116-109 victory over the Pistons in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Mobley struggled from the charity stripe during Saturday's win but still made his defensive presence felt with two blocks. The fifth-year big man has recorded at least two blocks in three consecutive games and four times across 10 postseason contests. Through the first three games of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, Mobley has averaged 12.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.0 threes, 2.3 blocks and 1.0 steals over 35.6 minutes per game.
Harris recorded 21 points (7-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and five rebounds across 38 minutes during Saturday's 116-109 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Harris tallied eight points in both the first and third quarters of Saturday's game and finished as the Pistons' second-leading scorer behind Cade Cunningham (27 points).

He has scored 20-plus points in eight consecutive games, and over that span he has averaged 22.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 1.9 threes and 1.5 steals over 36.6 minutes per contest.
