Los Angeles Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers forward Cam Reddish (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Reddish is back on the sideline after suffering a right ankle sprain during Tuesday's game. The Lakers could be thin at the forward spot with LeBron James (ankle) listed as questionable for this game. The absence of Reddish would likely mean an increased role for Max Christie. The streaming appeal of Christie is somewhat dependent on the status of James. Fantasy managers should get more information on this situation later on Thursday.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. James was held out of Tuesday's contest and remains on the injury report heading into Thursday. The fact James is on the injury report really shouldn't shock anyone. James has been a regular on the injury report all season long. His absence on Tuesday resulted in Taurean Prince drawing the start. He put together a decent night, but isn't a must-have streaming option. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Thursday for another update on his status.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt (heel) is available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Vanderbilt will play after being listed as probable due to a left heel issue. That is good news for the Lakers who are going to be without LeBron James (ankle) for this game. Taurean Prince will get the starting nod in his place. However, Vanderbilt could see an extended role off the bench. Fantasy managers can continue to ignore him as Vanderbilt hasn't brought much to the table lately.

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (Achilles) has been cleared to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. As expected, Davis will suit up for this game after being listed as probable heading into this contest. He'll be asked to do more of the heavy lifting with LeBron James (ankle) ruled out. Taurean Prince and Rui Hachimura will see an extended run with James sitting out. Fantasy managers should make sure to have Davis active for Tuesday.

Los Angeles Lakers power forward Jarred Vanderbilt (heel) is listed as probable for Tuesday's Battle of Los Angeles against the Clippers. The 24-year-old missed the start of the season with a heel injury, and he's been a regular on the injury report with left heel bursitis. However, Vanderbilt has been playing through the issue, making 20 consecutive appearances. Vanderbilt averages 3.6 points and 4.5 rebounds in 19.1 minutes for the Lakers this season.
