Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) has received another questionable tag ahead of the Monday night contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The superstar forward was unable to play in their last game against the Utah Jazz on Saturday and the Lakers suffered a seven-point loss. Out of the last 149 games James was listed as questionable, he's played in 79% of them, so he has a higher chance of taking the floor in an important game against a playoff team. If he's unable to play, D'Angelo Russell took his place in the starting five against the Jazz, so he'd likely move into that spot again. Russell did a good job in his place with 39 points, eight assists, three rebounds, one steal, and two blocks.
Los Angeles Lakers forward Cam Reddish (knee) has been ruled out again for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Despite starting the last two games, Reddish only received eight and 11 minutes in each. Now, he's dealing with some knee soreness which will change up the Lakers starting lineup yet again. The 24-year-old primarily contributes in threes and points for category leagues, but his inconsistent play hasn't made him a fantasy player to trust every night. While he's sidelined, Rui Hachimura and Christian Wood should see some extra minutes, especially if LeBron James (ankle) doesn't end up playing.
Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (calf) will play during Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. Hachimura will make his return to the court after missing multiple games due to a calf issue. Unsurprisingly, Hachimura will be under a minutes limit during his first game back in the rotation. At the moment, it's unclear if Hachimura is going to start or come off the bench during this game. Regardless, Hachimura is unlikely to have much streaming appeal without his full workload.
Los Angeles Lakers forward Cam Reddish (knee) is expected to suit up for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. He was listed as questionable heading into this game due to left knee soreness. At this point, fantasy managers should consider Reddish as probable for this game. He should resume his role in the starting five, but he hasn't offered great fantasy value lately.
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) isn't available for Saturday's matchup against the Jazz. The multi-time MVP logged 24 minutes in Thursday's blowout loss to the Phoenix Suns, ending the night with 10 points off a rough 3-for-11 shooting. Unfortunately, he tweaked his ankle in that one, so his absence could extend into Monday's meeting with OKC. That said, Anthony Davis (ankle) is the favorite to lead the team in scoring without James on the floor. At the same time, Austin Reaves and Taurean Prince could see a significant increase in scoring chances, even more so if D'Angelo Russell (knee) isn't in the lineup.
