Los Angeles Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (Achilles) are both active ahead of Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. Both players are back in the mix after sitting out of Thursday's contest. The return of these players means that Jaxson Hayes will head back to the bench. Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) was starting for James, but he suffered an injury during Thursday's game. As a result, Vanderbilt will miss time, which should mean more minutes for Rui Hachimura and Hayes in the rotation. Fantasy managers can get James and Davis back in their lineups for Saturday.

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) won't play Saturday against Philadelphia. The 30-year-old sprained his left ankle a week ago in a clash with the Rockets and has sat out two games already. Lonnie Walker IV has seen a big boost in playing time off the bench over the last couple of games, while the rest of the Nets starters are also counted on more without Finney-Smith. The veteran appears to be progressing well, as Finney-Smith started running again on Friday.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game with the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. But the biggest story surrounding the multi-time MVP isn't his health but whether he'll remain a Laker. Recent reports have surfaced suggesting he could be on his way out of Los Angeles. However, his agent, Rich Paul, shot down those rumors, stating, "LeBron won't be traded, and we aren't asking to be." Of course, anything is certainly possible, especially with Los Angeles struggling to remain in the playoff conversation. Yet, as long as James remains on the floor, which has been a challenge over the last few years, he should continue to be a valuable asset for any fantasy manager, no matter what uniform he's wearing moving ahead.

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (Achilles) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. Both Davis and LeBron James (ankle) were forced to sit out on Thursday. That resulted in Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) and Jaxson Hayes moving into the starting unit. Sadly, Vanderbilt wasn't able to finish the contest and is now expected to miss multiple weeks. The Lakers would be extremely shorthanded if both Davis and James miss Saturday's game. That being said, Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes could be asked to take on heavy roles. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Saturday for another update on their status.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. The veteran forward was forced to miss Thursday's game due to an ankle injury. Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) drew the start in his absence, but Vanderbilt wasn't able to make it through the game without getting injured. Now, Vanderbilt is expected to miss time, which means the Lakers could be thin at the forward spot for this game. Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes could be asked to play big roles if James sits out on Saturday.
