Coach Frank Vogel said Thursday that he's considering increasing Lawson's role down the stretch.

After missing a handful games with an ankle injury, Lawson has seen time off the bench in each of the last five contests, playing between 14 and 17 minutes. Lawson has fared reasonably well in the limited sample, shooting slightly above 50 percent from the floor while averaging 2.8 assists per game. While, ideally, Vogel would likely find 5-10 more minutes for Lawson on most nights, he noted that it would "mean someone else falls out of the rotation," which he's probably not comfortable with this late in the regular season. Perhaps Lawson sees a slight uptick in playing time over the final eight games, but it seems unlikely that it would be enough of an increase to alter his fantasy outlook.
