Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable for the Sunday afternoon showdown with the Suns. The multi-time MVP has dealt with a left ankle injury for a while now, so his presence on the injury report isn't surprising. He wasn't in the lineup on Thursday versus the Warriors, the Lakers' first game after the All-Star break. However, James played the following night against the Spurs and finished with a game-high 30 points with nine assists and seven boards. Without question, Anthony Davis would benefit significantly if James doesn't suit up. At the same time, Austin Reaves, D'Angelo Russell, and Rui Hachimura should also draw serious consideration for all fantasy formats, including those participating in DFS contests.

Prince won't offer much streaming value while playing with the second unit.
