Los Angeles Lakers big man Anthony Davis (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The 30-year-old has been questionable for most games this season, but he has only actually missed two games all year. On Tuesday, Davis played 35 minutes and scored 26 points against the Clippers. If the Lakers choose to give him a night off, Jared Vanderbilt and Rui Hachimura are likely to see increased minutes. Davis is averaging 25.3 points and 12.4 rebounds in 35 minutes per game this season.
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.
