Luka Doncic scored 52 points with 10 assists and 8 rebounds as the Lakers beat the Jazz 132-123 on Sunday night in Salt Lake City. Los Angeles trailed by 18 points before rallying for its third straight win to open the season.

Doncic shot 17-of-30 from the field and made eight three-pointers. Austin Reaves added 29 points beside him, and the Lakers took control late after spending most of the night chasing Utah.

Fantasy impact: Doncic's 52-point, 10-assist line is the kind of night that wins a week on its own, so start him every night without a second thought.

The 52-point night was the 10th 50-point game of Doncic's career. It ties him with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the all-time list and moves him past Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo, who have nine each.

Los Angeles is 3-0 with the win. The Lakers opened the season with two home wins and took their perfect start on the road for the first time in Utah. The comeback is the early statement of the season for a team that keeps finding a closer.

Fantasy impact: keep Doncic locked into your lineup every night, because a 52-point, 10-assist engine does not sit on any bench.
