Lakers' Julius Randle: Fights off injury to turn in double-double

Randle (hip) provided 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists across 34 minutes in Sunday's 118-112 loss to the Knicks.

Analysis:

Though the Lakers lost their sixth straight game, the team was at least able to take solace in the fact that Randle, D'Angelo Russell (knee) and Nick Young (calf) were all able to suit up, putting the team's starting five back at full strength. Randle wasn't forced to miss any games due to his latest setback with the sore hip, which resulted in him sitting out three contests in November, and his full workload and double-double production Sunday should embolden fantasy owners to keep him active for this week's slate.
