The last time the Lakers won a season-opening game, Luol Deng and Timofey Mozgov were making their debuts and Brandon Ingram was a rookie. The only holdover (sort of) between those two games? D’Angelo Russell.

Anthony Davis stopped the streak at seven on Tuesday, while also kicking off the JJ Redick era with a win. Even though the Lakers had a lot of things going wrong — a horrible shooting night from the three-point line, for example — they won the game on the margins, something Redick had preached all offseason.

The Lakers had three more offensive rebounds, eight fewer turnovers and attempted 10 more shots in total. It wasn’t perfect, but that fact alone should be encouragement enough.

So let’s dive into victory. As always, the numbers are based on each player’s expectations. A “B” grade represents that player’s average performance.

Anthony Davis

38 minutes, 36 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, 1 steal, 11-23 FG, 1-3 3PT, 13-15 FT, +1

One of my favorite traditions is Anthony Davis torching the reigning Defensive Player of the Year winner. He spent an entire playoff series embarrassing Jaren Jackson Jr. and has continually wreaked havoc on Rudy Gobert.

Tuesday was no different in that regard. AD made one noisy statement to open the season on both sides of the field. If this is what he looks like as the focal point of the offense, watch out.

Grade A+

Rui Hachimura

35 minutes, 18 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, 1 block, 7-14 FG, 1-4 3PT, 3-4 FT, +19

It might fly under the radar given the dominant AD status and the history that LeBron James and Bronny have made, but Rui was fantastic. Most of his scoring came in the first three quarters, which was necessary as LeBron was uncharacteristically struggling.

As impressive as it was, some strong defensive plays he made. Throughout the preseason and now in the first game of the regular season, Rui has looked solid and that is a good sign for the Lakers.

Grade: A

Le Bron James

35 minutes, 16 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks, 7-16 FG, 1-4 3PT, 1-1 FT, -6

A strange play by LeBron. While he had a few loud baskets with some huge dunks, overall it was a pretty bad night from him. It wasn’t until the fourth quarter that he reached double figures in scoring.

That being said, if the Lakers can win the non-LeBron minutes by 13 points, imagine what will happen if he actually plays well.

Grade: C+

D’Angelo Russell

34 minutes, 9 points, 1 rebound, 5 assists, 2 steals, 4-12 FG, 1-7 3PT, +15

Unfortunately, D’Angelo Russell’s poor form in the preseason carried over into the regular season. He never looked great in the game he played and he didn’t look that great in this game either.

That said, he had a key stretch in the fourth quarter where he knocked down a hard floater to stop the Wolves’ momentum, then threw a couple alley-oops to LeBron and Jaxson Hayes that really changed the momentum.

Grade: C

Austin Reaves

36 minutes, 12 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 6-14 FG, 0-5 3PT, 0-1 FT, +12

Like his defensive partner, it wasn’t a particularly great game for Reaves. The Lakers probably can’t withstand many nights where they go a combined 1-12 from the three-point line.

Half of Reaves’ scores came in the third quarter, where he looked like he was turning things around. Unfortunately, it was one of those nights for him and D’Lo both.

Grade: C+

Jaxson Hayes

15 minutes, 10 points, 4 rebounds, 1 block, 4-5 FG, 2-2 FT, -1

All in all, a strong evening from Hayes. I like the two-big look with him and AD and it allowed the Lakers to do some creative things defensively.

The rebounding will still need to improve, but other than that it’s hard to ask for more from him in his minutes.

Grade: B+

Gabe Vincent

17 minutes, 2 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1-2 FG, -2

I’m not going to make sweeping judgments after a single regular season game and I would encourage everyone else to follow suit. Nearly every Lakers guard was bad on Tuesday.

However, Vincent’s contract is highly tradable and the Lakers will likely be looking for upgrades for the upcoming season. He will have to show his worth. Tuesday was not a good start in that regard.

Grade: D+

Max Christie

11 minutes, 2 points, 2 rebounds, 0-3 FG, 0-3 3PT, 2-2 FT, -5

I think it’s important to remember that Christie, despite all the talk about him and all the fuss, is still a 21-year-old who will be playing his first real rotation minutes this season. He will have many more evenings like this.

Grade: C-

Dalton Knecht

16 minutes, 5 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 1 steal, 2-4 FG, 1-3 3PT, +7

It will be very difficult to keep Knecht off the floor this season. On Tuesday he played the second most minutes off the bench, while only Vincent played more. If he continues to impact games, that number will increase.

That said, there were more than a few occasions when he struggled defensively. That will determine how much time he gets on the field this season.

Grade: B+

Bronnie James

There is no grade for Bronny, who played only three minutes. I’m just going to use this part for those still reading to say that it’s objectively really cool that LeBron and Bronny got this moment and any bad faith criticism about the attention it got is extremely lame.

JJ Redick

Hooray, boy! It’s hard to imagine a better debut for Redick in his first game. Everything about this game felt so much better. The team created a good offense, they didn’t lose the game on the margins, and they didn’t have to rely on the heroics of either AD or LeBron to win.

Again, it’s still very early and he will eventually face adversity, but my optimism that Redick is the real deal only grows.

Grade: A

Tuesday’s DNPs: Maxwell Lewis, Cam Reddish, Jalen Hood-Schifino

Tuesday’s inactives: Jarred Vanderbilt, Christian Wood, Christian Koloko, Quincy Olivari, Armel Traore
