Los Angeles Lakers big man Anthony Davis (Achilles) is expected to play on Friday at home against the Nets. He's currently listed on the injury report as probable, and he is likely to suit up and start barring any pregame setbacks. Davis has been questionable or probable for most games this year but has only missed two games all season. A prime candidate for 35 or more minutes and a 30-point double-double, the Lakers' star belongs in all lineups if he ends up playing Friday.
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is officially questionable to play in the team's Friday night game at home against the Nets. Despite typically entering games with the questionable tag, the Lakers' star has only missed four games this year and should have a good chance to suit up. With the Lakers being off last night and tomorrow, James likely will give it a go on Friday. If he doesn't end up playing, Jarred Vanderbilt and Rui Hachimura would most likely step in for expanded minutes.
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (ankle) are both available for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Both players were uncertain coming into this game, but that seems to be normal these days. As usual, James and Davis will both be active for this game despite the injury tags. The expectation is that they will have their normal roles in the rotation, so fantasy managers can feel comfortable with them in their lineups.
Los Angeles Lakers forward Cam Reddish (knee) won't suit up for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The young forward continues to deal with a lingering knee issue that could end up costing him a few games. This is a tough blow to the Lakers who have been starting Reddish lately. In his absence, Jarred Vanderbilt figures to move into the starting five and see increased playing time. However, he's not a great streaming option with LeBron James and Anthony Davis both active for this game.
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is active ahead of Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The superstar forward came into this game as questionable due to a lingering ankle issue. Despite that, James will make his return to the court after a one-game absence. James will resume his role in the starting five and should play his normal role in the rotation. Fantasy managers can feel safe getting James back in their lineups on Monday.
