Jodie Meeks started and hit 12-of-21 shots and two 3-pointers for 30 points, four rebounds, six assists and a steal in Tuesday's loss to Houston. |
He should finish the season strong and played very well tonight, despite the return of Jordan Farmar and a big game from Nick Young (32 points). |

Wed Apr 2 2014 | 01:23 | Jodie Meeks has an overdue dud on Tuesday |
Jodie Meeks made just 2-of-7 from the field against the Blazers on Tuesday for four points with two boards, two assists and one turnover in 27 minutes. |
It's his lowest scoring output in 2014 and just his second single-digit game this calendar year as well. Meeks has been terrific as one of the most improved players in the NBA, so his owners obviously need to give him a pass here. |

Thu Mar 27 2014 | 22:55 | Jodie Meeks has a slightly below average game |
Jodie Meeks shot 4-of-10 from the field for 10 points vs. the Bucks on Wednesday with three boards, four assists, two steals, one block and two 3-pointers in 31 minutes. |
When taking into account Pau Gasol is out due to verigo, Meeks is easily the most reliable Laker right now. His numbers since the break have been phenomenal, averaging 17.9 points, 1.9 assists, 1.9 steals and 2.1 triples on 46.7 percent from the field and 87.5 percent from the line. He's putting up top-30 value in that span and shows no signs of slowing down. |

Mon Mar 24 2014 | 00:22 | Sticky-fingered Jodie Meeks gets six steals |
Jodie Meeks took a backseat offensively vs. Orlando, scoring 13 points with two 3-pointers in 40 minutes, but he also set a career-high with six steals. |
The five-year veteran is averaging a career-high 1.4 steals per game this year, but he has 10 in the past two games alone. His sudden thievery is great news for fantasy owners fighting to make up ground in roto leagues or win a category in head-to-head playoffs, and L.A.'s upcoming four-game week should smooth out any wrinkles in Meeks' production. |

Sat Mar 22 2014 | 03:47 | Jodie Meeks drops 21 points vs. Wizards |
Jodie Meeks scored 21 points vs. the Wizards on Friday with two assists, four steals and two 3-pointers in 34 minutes. |
Even with the returns of Nick Young and Steve Nash, Meeks' minutes held up. Over his last five, he's averaged 21.6 points, 2.2 boards, 2.4 assists, 2.2 steals and 2.6 triples while taking 15.4 shots per game, which would make him a must-start player in standard leagues. The Kentucky product might be the most reliable perimeter Laker for the rest of the season. |

Fri Mar 14 2014 | 00:28 | Jodie Meeks scores 19 points in loss |
Jodie Meeks shot 6-of-15 from the field for 19 points with three boards, two assists, one steal and three 3-pointers in 31 minutes. |
He was the star of the show on Sunday's national-TV game with 42 and played well tonight . His career-high 39.9 percent from three has been a big part of his success, but he's been much better in the paint this season and it's resulted in a fantastic 46.3 percent from the field. Meeks is going to sustain must-start value the rest of the way even when Nick Young (knee) comes back. |

Sun Mar 9 2014 | 18:55 | Jodie Meeks scores career-high 42 points |
Jodie Meeks could not be stopped on Sunday during a shocking 114-110 win over the Thunder, scoring a career-high 42 points with two boards, four assists and six 3-pointers in 37 minutes. |
He shot 11-of-18 from the field and made all 14 free throws in the win. Meeks became the first player since Kevin Martin in 2011 to score at least 42 points on 18 or less shots from the field and he was also the last non-Kobe Bryant Laker to score 40 since Andrew Bynum did it in 2009. He's having a major breakout season and will be a fixture in the Lakers rotation for his 3-point range. |

Fri Mar 7 2014 | 01:46 | Jodie Meeks awful in ugly loss to Clippers |
Jodie Meeks hit just 3-of-11 shots and no 3-pointers for seven points in Thursday's brutal loss to the Clippers. |
Meeks had been playing very well but this game was over before most of the fans were even in their seats. Meeks appears to be locked and loaded until further notice, so just hang in there with him as the Lakers lick their wounds. |

Wed Mar 5 2014 | 02:06 | Jodie Meeks scores 17 points vs. Pelicans |
Jodie Meeks played 31 minutes against the Pelicans on Tuesday night with 17 points, three steals and two 3-pointers. |
He has 2.0 triples per game in his last eight games since returning from an ankle injury while shooting 53.3 percent from the field and stealing 1.1 per game in his previous seven games. Meeks is a must-own player in standard-style formats. |

Sat Mar 1 2014 | 01:02 | Meeks 8/8 for 22 pts; benched for hotter hand |
Jodie Meeks hit all eight of his field goal attempts (including three treys) for 22 points and four assists over 33 minutes on Friday against the Kings. |
Meeks was actually benched for a bit because Jordan Farmar was in the midst of an 8-of-10 run from beyond the arc. That should tell you everything you need to know about the track meet at Staples tonight. |

Mon Feb 24 2014 | 00:34 | Jodie Meeks scores 19 points vs. Nets |
Jodie Meeks scored 19 points vs. the Nets on Sunday with two boards, two assists, one block, two steals and two 3-pointers vs. the Nets. |
He was playing close to 40 minutes per game before his ankle sprain earlier this month, but the Lakers actually have some shred of depth in their backcourt right now and that won't be necessary. Meeks is still too valuable for his 3-point range to allow spacing to Mike D'Antoni's offense, so he's a must-own player in all leagues for points, treys and steals. |

Jodie Meeks returned from his ankle sprain on Wednesday with 19 points, one rebound, two assists, one steal and two 3-pointers in 34 minutes. |
He was on cruise control before going down on Feb. 4, ranking ninth in the NBA for minutes per game in January while averaging 18.9 points, 2.7 assists, 1.9 steals and 2.6 triples on 46.1 percent from the field and 88.2 percent from the line. Meeks was putting up early-round value during that span and the trade of Steve Blake makes him a must-add, must-start player in even the shallowest formats. |

Jodie Meeks (ankle) will play vs. the Jazz on Wednesday. |
Meeks made it through Tuesday's practice without any problems and his return is great news with Kobe Bryant out, Jordan Farmar and Pau Gasol doubtful, and Jordan Farmar questionable. With season averages of 14.4 points, 2.2 triples and 1.4 steals per game, Meeks belongs in active lineups. |

Tue Feb 11 2014 | 09:15 | Jodie Meeks expected back by next week |
Jodie Meeks (ankle) is expected to return to action next week. |
The cavalry is coming for the Lakers, but it won't be in time for Tuesday's game against the Jazz or Thursday's game against the Thunder. Meeks, Jordan Farmar, Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Xavier Henry all hope to be back shortly after the All-Star break. Meeks is considered the closest, as he is merely dealing with a simple right ankle sprain. |

Mon Feb 10 2014 | 16:23 | Jodie Meeks will be re-evaluated post-break |
Jodie Meeks (ankle) will be re-evaluated after the All-Star break. |
That rules him out for this week, meaning he will miss at least five games due to his sprained ankle. Meeks was playing extremely well before the injury, averaging 18.9 points, 2.7 assists, 1.9 steals and 2.6 triples on 46.1 percent from the field in 38.1 minutes. He should be stashed in all leagues. |

Sat Feb 8 2014 | 16:17 | Jodie Meeks (ankle) may be out through break |
Mike D'Antoni said on Saturday that he expects Jodie Meeks (ankle) to be sidelined through the All-Star break. |
That would mean three more DNPs for Meeks as the Lakers play on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday before heading into the break. His absence means more playing time for Steve Blake, Steve Nash and Kendall Marshall, but he should be ready to go for L.A.'s first post-break game on Feb. 19. |

Wed Feb 5 2014 | 09:30 | Jodie Meeks (ankle) out at least two games |
Jodie Meeks (sprained ankle) will miss at least the next two games. |
L.A. concludes their road trip with games in Cleveland on Wednesday and Philadelphia on Friday, and the earliest Meeks could return to action is Sunday's home game vs. the Bulls. His absence opens up more opportunities for guys like Nick Young, Wes Johnson, Steve Nash and Steve Blake, though at the moment it's unclear who will take his place in the starting lineup. |

Tue Feb 4 2014 | 20:15 | Jodie Meeks' night ends early w/ ankle sprain |
Jodie Meeks came down on a defender's foot in the first quarter on Tuesday and had to be helped to the locker room with a sprained right ankle. |
He will not return to the game and should be considered day-to-day. Wes Johnson and Nick Young will see more minutes if he misses more time, while Steve Nash, Steve Blake and Jordan Farmar would also help fill the hole he would leave. |

Jodie Meeks (foot) played on Friday against the Bobcats, scoring 19 points on 5-of-15 shooting (including three treys) with two rebounds, one assist and two steals in 37 minutes. |
Meeks hit all six of his free throws and continues to pound opposing owners with early round value in standard formats. Unless the news on his foot takes a hard left, he should be in all standard lineups. |
