Lakers' Dennis Schroder: Muted performance in loss
Rotowire
Schroder recorded five points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one assist and one steal in 25 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 119-108 loss to the Nuggets in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.
Schroder failed to offer anything of note on offense in the Game 3 loss and unfortunately for the Lakers, he wasn't the only one. While he has had a few nice moments throughout the playoffs, his inability to provide consistent production remains an issue. No NBA team has ever come back to win a series after trailing 3-0, something the Lakers will have to do should they hope to reach the Finals.

Lakers' Dennis Schroder: Meaningful minutes again in loss
Rotowire
Schroder totaled 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 121-106 loss to Golden State in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Schroder continues to play a pivotal role for the Lakers despite coming off the bench, logging 29 minutes in the loss. The coaching staff has opted to go away from Jarred Vanderbilt of late, choosing instead to run with guys like Schroder and Lonnie Walker. The series will now head back to Los Angeles for Game 6. Should the Lakers emerge victorious, they will advance to the Western Conference Finals to face either the Nuggets or the Suns.

Lakers' Dennis Schroder: Scores 19 points off bench
Rotowire
Schroder finished Tuesday's 117-112 win over the Warriors in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 19 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 9-10 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal in 31 minutes.
Schroder scored 13 first-half points and finished tied with D'Angelo Russell for third on the team in scoring behind Anthony Davis (30) and LeBron James (22). The backup point guard's 19 points were his most in the playoffs so far, and it appears he has a more favorable matchup in Round 2 than he did against Memphis. Either way, Schroder remains a streaky scorer, so it may be a stretch to expect this type of production from him moving forward.
