LeBron James (illness) questionable as Cavaliers prepare for Milwaukee
Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James (illness) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Milwaukee Bucks.
What It Means:
Richard Jefferson would be in consideration as a low-end streaming option if James misses a second straight game, but Kyrie Irving would benefit the most. Irving turned in 34 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 block and 2 threes on Saturday sans LeBron.
When James isn't on the floor, Irving's usage rate soars to 41.6 percent, which would be second to only Russell Westbrook, who currently leads the NBA at 41.7 percent for the season. In seven starts this season, Jefferson is averaging 7.1 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 3-pointers over 27.2 minutes per game.
