Los Angeles Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers forward Cam Reddish (ankle) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This is good news after both Reddish and Anthony Davis (Achilles) popped up on the injury report ahead of this game. Both players will suit up, which is great news for fantasy managers. Davis is expected to be the focal point of the team with LeBron James (ankle) sidelined. Reddish will come off the bench but will have a bigger role without James available. Although, it's uncertain if Reddish will play enough to warrant streaming in 12-team formats.

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (Achilles) has been cleared to suit up for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. As expected, Davis will play after being listed as probable heading into this game. Fantasy managers are used to this considering Davis is a regular on the injury report. Nonetheless, Davis will suit up and play a bigger role with LeBron James (ankle) sidelined. Fantasy managers should make sure they have Davis in their before tip-off.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will sit out Friday's contest against Milwaukee. The veteran superstar exited the last game against Sacramento early due to a lingering left ankle problem, and he will get some rest on Friday. James has played through the ailment for quite a while, so he should make a quick return to the lineup. Taurean Prince has started the two most recent games James has missed. His absence should provide a big boost to the usage of Anthony Davis and D'Angelo Russell. In seven games without James this season, Davis has taken his scoring average to 29.0 points, while Russell has posted 18.9 points and 6.5 assists without James.

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Cam Reddish (ankle) remains on the injury report ahead of their game on Friday but is considered probable to suit up. Reddish returned from a long absence due to an ankle sprain and played four straight games before missing their last contest against the Sacramento Kings. In that four-game stretch, he wasn't able to get much going as he hasn't seen that many minutes. He posted 2.0 points and 1.8 rebounds across 13.9 minutes per game in the span. He's still not much of a starting-caliber player in most fantasy leagues, but he could see some extra opportunities if LeBron James (ankle) is downgraded from questionable.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) has been tagged as questionable for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He continues to suffer from peroneal tendinopathy in his left ankle which knocked him out of a few games in mid-February. The trend seems to be receiving a questionable tag to start out, then he and the team decide after shootaround and warming up if he'll play or not. Fantasy managers with James on their team are used to this song and dance by now, so they'll have to wait until closer to game time to check his status. If he's unable to play, potential streaming options would include Rui Hachimura and Spencer Dinwiddie.
