LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers, SF – News, Stats, Bio

James notched 34 points (12-24 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one block in 37 minutes during Sunday’s 129-109 loss to the Pelicans.

James had one of his best scoring performances of the season Sunday, but the rest of the team didn’t perform at the same standard, and the Lakers suffered a 20-point loss. James’ scoring figures have decreased a bit since his move to a point guard role, but his assists are on the rise. That said, a “decrease” in scoring for James shouldn’t affect his fantasy output. After all, he’s averaging 26.9 points, 6.9 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game across his last 10 contests.

James (illness, knee) is good to go for Sunday’s game against the Pelicans, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

James is under the weather and dealing with a knee contusion, but he’ll shed his questionable tag again to suit up for the second leg of this back-to-back set. James may have some added fatigue Sunday, as he played 39 minutes in Saturday’s loss to Minnesota.

James is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Pelicans due to a right knee contusion and an illness, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

James played Saturday, posting 26 points, six assists, three rebounds and three steals in 39 minutes during a 108-106 loss to Minnesota. He may be held out of the second half of the Lakers‘ back-to-back set for maintenance reasons, but if he’s available, James should be full go versus the Pelicans.

James (illness) will play Saturday against the Timberwolves, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

James has been dealing with a non-COVID illness, but that won’t stop him from featuring against one of the best teams in the Western Conference. Expect James to handle his regular workload in this one. James is averaging 25.6 points, 9.5 assists and 7.3 rebounds per game this month.

James is dealing with a non-COVID illness and a knee injury and remains listed as questionable for Saturday’s game against Minnesota, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

James was initially added to the injury report with a knee issue, but it’s since been revealed that he’s also fighting off an illness. His activity throughout the day should give the team a better idea of his availability for Saturday evening.

James (knee) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Timberwolves.

James has been a regular on the Lakers‘ injury report this season but has been available for the past three matchups. However, the Lakers have a back-to-back set this weekend with games Saturday against Minnesota and Sunday against the Pelicans, so the 38-year-old could sit in at least one of those contests. James has been held under 20 points in each of his last two appearances.

James chipped in 17 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and 11 assists in 25 minutes during Thursday’s 133-112 win over the Hornets.

The 38-year-old has taken the reins of the Lakers‘ offense in December, dishing at least seven dimes in all 10 games he’s played this month while averaging 25.6 points, 9.5 assists, 7.3 boards, 2.2 threes and 1.5 steals. James is already the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, and at his current pace he should become the first player in history to cross the 40,000-point threshold sometime in late February.

James (knee) will be available to face the Hornets on Thursday, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

James has been listed on the injury report prior to almost every game, but as has also been the trend, he’s available and should handle a full workload. James has averaged 25.8 points, 9.8 assists and 8.8 rebounds per game over his last five outings.

James is questionable for Thursday’s game versus the Hornets due to a left knee contusion, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

While James has consistently been listed on the Lakers‘ injury report, the superstar forward’s knee injury is new. With Cam Reddish (groin) also questionable, Jarred Vanderbilt (heel), Taurean Prince and Rui Hachimura could be in store for extended minutes if James is ruled out.
