LeBron James (groin) on first-half minute limit Thursday for Lakers
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) will only play the first half on Thursday against the Sacramento Kings.
What It Means:
James and Danny Green (rest) will start but only play the first half on Thursday afternoon as the Lakers have already locked up the No. 1 seed in the West. Anthony Davis (knee), Kyle Kuzma (rest), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (foot), and Alex Caruso (neck) have all been ruled out. Talen Horton-Tucker will make his first NBA start and should see as many minutes as he can handle. Quinn Cook is also in line for a large workload and will be a candidate to start the second half.
Per FanDuel Sportsbook, the Lakers are favored by 3.5 points on Thursday. The matchup has a 223.0-point over/under.
