Walker Kessler scored 26 points on 12-of-12 shooting with 9 rebounds as the Lakers beat Golden State 127-105. His 12 straight makes are the second-most in Lakers history, behind Wilt Chamberlain's 14-for-14 in March 1969. Luka Doncic had 28 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists in three quarters, including a half-court bank shot at the first-half buzzer, and Austin Reaves added 23. Stephen Curry scored 23 for the Warriors, who played without Brandin Podziemski (back), Jimmy Butler, Kristaps Porzingis and Moses Moody. Doncic and Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg had a long physical and verbal exchange in the first half; Lendeborg got a technical.

Fantasy angleKessler starts at center and gets lobs from Doncic: a strong FG% and rebounds play. Jake LaRavia left limping in the fourth; watch his status.
