LeBron

James

James continues to show up on the injury report with left foot injury management. The 40-year-old small forward has been designated as questionable for Thursday so there is a real chance he could miss the game against the Wizards. The Lakers would be in serious trouble if James were to miss as Anthony Davis (abdomen) is already out. Dalton Knecht and Dorian Finney-Smith would have more prominent roles in James’ absence.

LeBron did a little bit of everything in this game and nearly recorded a quadruple-double. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as good as it sounds, as one of those categories was turnovers. Everything else about LeBron’s night was great, but he just committed 13 turnovers in 24 hours. It wasn’t enough for them to get their fifth straight win, though that can at least partially be attributed to Anthony Davis (core) exiting early. If AD remains out in Washington on Thursday, expect LeBron to see a usage boost again, which should lead to plenty of stats, including turnovers.

As expected, both stars will be available to play after initially being listed as probable once again. AD had 42 points and 23 rebounds against the Hornets on Monday and should feast on Philly’s lack of center options in this one.

James is on the injury report for left foot injury management while Davis is dealing with left plantar fasciitis. Both players are trending toward suiting up and have been healthy this month, so fantasy managers should expect to see a normal workload from the Lakers duo.

James had a tough night on the perimeter, shooting 1-of-8 from three. But he made up for that by going 8-of-9 from two, and the rebound and assist numbers should help fantasy managers get off to a good start to their week. Over the past two weeks, James has provided top-15 value in 8-cat formats and continues to exceed his Yahoo ADP (24) for the season. The Lakers visit Philadelphia on Tuesday; hopefully, the regulars will not need a rest day.

James was on the injury report with left foot injury management while Davis continues to nurse soreness in his right calf. As usual, the pair of Lakers superstars will suit up after being designated as probable. Fantasy managers can insert the pair into lineups as they normally would.

James is again listed on the Lakers’ injury report due to left foot injury management. His status was downgraded to questionable ahead of Saturday’s win over Golden State, but he ultimately played 35 minutes and recorded a double-double. Fantasy managers should expect LeBron to be available for Monday’s game.

LeBron has been pouring in the stats recently, and that trend continued in this game. This was his sixth straight game with at least 20 points, and this was his fourth straight game with at least a double-double, with one triple-double mixed in. He had a point-rebound double-double in their last game and followed that with a point-assist double-double in this one. James has shot below 50% in four straight games, which has capped his recent production in 9-cat leagues. They have four games next week. starting in Charlotte on Monday.

LeBron was downgraded to questionable earlier in the day, but he will once again be able to suit up despite this ongoing left foot injury. He’ll take on his normal role in the starting unit, where he had 20 points, 14 rebounds and six assists on Thursday.

Initially probable for Saturday’s game for left foot injury management, James is now questionable. That’s an ominous development for the Lakers and fantasy managers. Gabe Vincent started the last game James missed, but he would not be worth streaming in most leagues. Dalton Knecht and Dorian Finney-Smith will also figure more prominently in the rotation if LeBron sits.
