Goodwin is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports. The Lakers will be close to full strength in this matchup, so Goodwin will return to his regular role off the bench. Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic will start in the backcourt, meaning Goodwin's fantasy appeal will be close to minimal in this contest.

Goodwin is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports. The Lakers will be close to full strength in this matchup, so Goodwin will return to his regular role off the bench. Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic will start in the backcourt, meaning Goodwin's fantasy appeal will be close to minimal in this contest.
Goodwin finished Wednesday's 120-108 victory over the Nuggets with eight points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and four steals in 26 minutes. Goodwin didn't have much success offensively but made up for it on the defensive end -- this was his fifth career game with at least four steals. The Lakers are shorthanded these days, and Goodwin will remain on the streaming radar for the short term. Over his last seven games, Goodwin has averaged 8.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.7 three-pointers.
Goodwin is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports. Goodwin is one of several non-regular starters who will be part of the first unit in this contest, as the Lakers will be very shorthanded due to rest and injuries. Goodwin will be making his first start of the season, though he's coming off a solid 17-point showing versus Brooklyn earlier this week on Monday, March 10.
Goodwin contributed 17 points (6-8 FG, 5-6 3Pt), eight rebounds and one steal over 24 minutes during Monday's 111-108 loss to the Nets. Goodwin notched a season-high 17 points, stepping up for a shorthanded Los Angeles roster -- LeBron James (groin), Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Rui Hachimura (knee) all sat this game out. Given how well he fared Monday, Goodwin is worth a look in deeper fantasy formats until the Lakers get some reinforcements back.
Goodwin (ankle) recorded six points (2-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal across 16 minutes in Saturday's 111-101 loss to the Celtics. Goodwin had missed the previous three games with a Grade 1 ankle sprain, but he slotted back into head coach JJ Redick's nine-man rotation Saturday and hit a pair of key triples in the process. The two-way player is eligible to be active in just 10 of the Lakers' remaining 20 games, but expect him to be a regular on the second unit in the short term while Los Angeles looks to replace LeBron James, who strained his groin Saturday and is expected to miss at least 1-to-2 weeks.
Goodwin (ankle) is not on the Lakers' injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Celtics, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports. Goodwin missed the Lakers' last three games while tending to a sprained right ankle, and it appears he has progressed enough in his recovery to be available for Saturday's bout. Goodwin is averaging 6.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.3 steals over 16.9 minutes per game this season, though he could see a decent amount of playing time in his return due to the absence of Rui Hachimura (knee).
Goodwin (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports. Goodwin will miss a third straight game Thursday, as the Lakers newcomer continues to nurse a sprained right ankle. The defensive-minded guard has made an impact during his short time in Los Angeles, but with him on the mend, the team likely spread his minutes out to Gabe Vincent, Shake Milton and Dalton Knecht.
Goodwin (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports. Goodwin has missed the last two games for the Lakers with a sprained right ankle. However, he may be able to return to the floor against the Knicks, which would give Los Angeles some depth in the backcourt. He's played eight games for his new team, averaging 6.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 52.5 percent from the floor.
Goodwin (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports. Goodwin will miss his second straight game since being diagnosed with a Grade 1 right ankle sprain. The team has yet to establish a clear timetable for his return, though it wouldn't be a surprise to see him miss another game or two while on the mend. Goodwin's next chance to return will arrive Thursday against the Knicks.
