LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Los Angeles Lakers’ two best players, missed the game against the Boston Celtics because they were hurt in the lower body. It was the first time this season that both players missed the same game. When they play the NBA team with the best record. With an amazing game, Reaves led the Lakers to a 114-105 win over the Celtics.

With a career-high seven three-pointers, Reaves scored 32 points to help his team beat an old rival from Los Angeles. Reaves would answer every time the Celtics tried to make a run, which calmed the TD Garden crowd. In the fourth quarter, Boston could not get any closer than six points to the lead.

The guard in his third year has scored 60 points in his last two games. Before the trade deadline on February 8, teams all over the league want to get him, but his recent games have shown why the Lakers have no plans to move him.

Fans on social media were shocked by how well Reaves played against the league’s best team on Thursday:

Giving Reaves more responsibility could help the Lakers get back on track after a rough start to the season. Los Angeles should think about giving Reaves more chances now that they are 25-25, even after James and Davis come back into the mix.

When they play the New York Knicks on Saturday night, the Lakers will try to keep up their good form.
