Austin Reaves of the Los Angeles Lakers has now put himself in line to be one of the highest-paid players in the NBA with his play this year.

Austin Reaves' humor remains unmatched, as evidenced by his sardonic joke following the Lakers' win over the Pelicans.
Luka Doncic (24 points, 12 assists) and Deandre Ayton (20 points, 16 rebounds) lead the way, as the Lakers see their 22-point lead cut to eight a few times before
Luka Doncic had 41 points and nine rebounds, Austin Reaves added 25 points and eight assists, and the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Milwaukee Bucks 119-95
