LeBron James's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's big clash with Golden State. The NBA's all-time leading scorer continues to carry a left ankle problem, but he's missed only a handful of games over the last couple of months. In the last game against Sacramento, James even logged 40 minutes. It's a high-stakes game on Saturday, and James should be eager to play in the contest to boost his team's chances of climbing the Western Conference standings.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (Achilles) were both spotted at the morning shootaround ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Sacramento Kings. Carrying his usual probable tag, Davis is already likely to play through bilateral Achilles tendinopathy on Wednesday. James, on the other hand, is questionable with left ankle peroneal tendinopathy but can be tentatively placed on the right side of the designation with this development. The Lakers will release the final statuses of the two superstars closer to the 10:00 p.m. EST tip-off. This matchup sports a 238.5-point implied total, the highest on Wednesday's nine-game slate, so there's plenty of appeal from a DFS perspective.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against Sacramento. He had to skip a game last week due to his ankle issue but returned on Sunday with a big performance against Minnesota. While logging 38 minutes of action, James fell just short of a triple-double with 29 points, eight rebounds, and nine assists. It's likely he will play on Wednesday, but fantasy managers will need to keep a close eye on the Lakers' lineup news. Spencer Dinwiddie started in James' stead last Friday against Milwaukee. He could be lifted back into the starting unit if James won't be in the lineup on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is active ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. James is back in the lineup after sitting out of Friday's game. Fellow superstar Anthony Davis (shoulder) will also be active for this game. Both players are expected to return to their normal roles in the starting five. They should be fine for solid outings against the banged up Wolves' roster. Fantasy managers should make sure to get both James and Davis in there before tip-off.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will sit out Friday's contest against Milwaukee. The veteran superstar exited the last game against Sacramento early due to a lingering left ankle problem, and he will get some rest on Friday. James has played through the ailment for quite a while, so he should make a quick return to the lineup. Taurean Prince has started the two most recent games James has missed. His absence should provide a big boost to the usage of Anthony Davis and D'Angelo Russell. In seven games without James this season, Davis has taken his scoring average to 29.0 points, while Russell has posted 18.9 points and 6.5 assists without James.
