Hachimura was spectacular and hit timely buckets late in Wednesday's Lakers' thrilling win over the Indiana Pacers. Hachimura finished the game with 14 points on 80 percent shooting from the field, four rebounds, and one assist in 28 minutes of action.

The Los Angeles Lakers are notably thin at the center position, with Jaxson Hayes likely to be the only available option for head coach JJ Redick in the playoffs.

After missing nearly a month of action due to a knee injury, Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura has played in each of the team's last three games. In those games, he averaged 8 points and 3 rebounds while shooting 53.3% from the field in 23.3 minutes.
