Why is Austin Reaves not a starter vs. the Orlando Magic?

The Los Angeles Lakers have another must-win game; they can't lose tonight; if they do, they will be saying goodbye to the postseason, as they are currently in the 11th spot in the Western Conference after losing against the Rockets and Mavericks.

In a move that fans can't understand, coach Darvin Ham keeps believing in SG Malik Beasley instead of Austin Reaves, who has been the best player out of the two.

Reaves has been a reliable player for Ham and, in the last stretch of games, has become one of the best players on the team overall. Usually, Reaves is one of the best after LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Now that LeBron James isn't playing, Reaves should become a starter now that the team needs to win every game, but coach Ham keeps believing in Beasley, who has yet to be constant.

Coach Ham's trust in Dennis Schroder hasn't been well-received by the fans

One of the players that gets the most minutes is Dennis Schroder. The PG is coming off the bench but has all the trust of coach Ham, and that has yet to be well received by the Lakers Nation. Schroder is a great player but now always gives the best of him, and that has made him a question mark for the team.
