Los Angeles Lakers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. As expected, James will suit up for this game after being listed as probable heading into the contest. The 40-year-old superstar is nursing a left foot injury, but will suit up for his fifth straight game. James should play his normal role during Tuesday's game, which is around 34 minutes per game. Fantasy managers should make sure James in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

According to Jovan Buha of The Athletic, Los Angeles Lakers guardGabe Vincent(oblique) will likely play against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday. Vincent was previously listed as questionable, but he's since been upgraded to probable. The 28-year-old had previously missed four games in a row due to an oblique injury. He's struggled this season, shooting 33.0 percent from three-point range, and if available this evening, Vincent won't make much of an impact in fantasy.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is considered probable to play against Dallas on Tuesday. The legendary forward continues to manage a left foot injury, but it doesn't appear to be holding him back. James suited up for every game when the Lakers had three outings in four nights to close out last week. He was close to logging a triple-double on Sunday versus Houston and has put up 30 points several times recently. An injury-hit Mavericks team likely will not have the tools to slow down James.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (oblique) will not play on Sunday against Houston. He has been downgraded from doubtful to out. This will be his fourth consecutive game missed due to an oblique injury. With Vincent out of commission, Shake Milton has more playing opportunities. However, the veteran guard has only had a small role with the Lakers since coming over from Brooklyn. He has averaged 4.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 13.3 minutes as a Laker.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) will play against Houston on Sunday. The Lakers have once again upgraded James from probable to available ahead of the game. Following a quiet spell, James has produced three 30-point efforts in his past four appearances, passing Michael Jordan for the most such outings in NBA history. He has shot 40 percent or better in five consecutive outings. However, the Rockets are a tough defensive team, so this will be a challenging matchup for the veteran star.
