Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (Achilles) are both available ahead of Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. As expected, James and Davis will play after being on the injury report heading into this game. Both players are dealing with nagging injuries, but continue to play through them a majority of the time. The expectation is that James and Davis will have their normal workload on Saturday. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get him in their lineups.
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Cam Reddish (ankle) will remain out on Saturday against Golden State. Reddish is nursing a right ankle sprain and won't be in the lineup for a third consecutive game. Spencer Dinwiddie has a chance to log extra minutes off the pine without Reddish. He's getting a big opportunity to impress, but Dinwiddie has struggled to perform, going scoreless in back-to-back games. Facing a Warriors team that doesn't generally give up a lot of bench points puts Dinwiddie in an uncomfortable situation again on Saturday.
Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles) is expected to play against the Warriors on Saturday. The All-Star big man has collected a probable tag for the contest. Davis is set to feature in an 18th consecutive game, and he will have plenty to prove after getting outplayed by Domantas Sabonis in the previous matchup. In two previous games against the Warriors this season, Davis has put in outstanding performances, averaging 28.0 points, 14.0 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks.
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's big clash with Golden State. The NBA's all-time leading scorer continues to carry a left ankle problem, but he's missed only a handful of games over the last couple of months. In the last game against Sacramento, James even logged 40 minutes. It's a high-stakes game on Saturday, and James should be eager to play in the contest to boost his team's chances of climbing the Western Conference standings.
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Cam Reddish (ankle) was unable to play in the last two games due to an ankle issue and it looks like he'll miss a third consecutive contest. Head coach Darvin Ham said that Reddish is "unlikely to be available" for their matchup against the Golden State Warriors. The 24-year-old has had a hard time staying on the floor this year and has appeared in a total of 40 games out of a possible 67 so far. When he does play, however, he hasn't produced enough to be considered a must-start in any fantasy format. While he's out, Rui Hachimura and Spencer Dinwiddie should both continue to see more opportunities.
