Records triple-double Sunday
Kennard provided 15 points (5-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 16 rebounds, 11 assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Sunday's 134-128 loss to Dallas.
Analyse
With Luka Doncic (hamstring), Austin Reaves (oblique) and Marcus Smart (ankle) sidelined, Kennard moved to the starting lineup, and the sharpshooter responded by notching the first triple-double of his career. Kennard has always had solid value due to his three-point shooting ability, but being a starter and holding a sizable role on offense should translate to a considerable uptick in his fantasy upside. With Reaves sidelined until early May in a best-case scenario and Doncic having an uncertain timetable to return, Kennard should continue to have a large offensive role during the final week of the regular season.

Starting Sunday
Kennard is in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Mavericks, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Kennard will draw the start at point guard due to Luka Doncic (hamstring) being out, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Jake LaRavia, LeBron James, Rui Hachimura and Deandre Ayton. In Kennard's previous start this season, he finished with 14 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and five assists over 28 minutes.

Pours in 19 points from bench
Kennard logged 19 points (7-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 23 minutes during Monday's 120-101 win over the Wizards.
Analyse
With Luka Doncic (suspension) and Marcus Smart (ankle) absent, Kennard had a perfect opportunity to contribute, and he delivered with his second-highest scoring total of the season. The Lakers have been running with a shallow rotation, and although the offense doesn't always flow in his direction, he'll be one of the first guys off the bench on a nightly basis.
