Kyle Kuzma (heel) starting for Lakers Wednesday in place of injured LeBron James
Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma is in the lineup Wednesday in the team's game against the Sacramento Kings.
What It Means:
Kuzma was considered a game-time decision due to a heel injury, but he's been cleared to play against Buddy Hield and Co. He'll also enter the starting five, as LeBron James is missing his first game of the season to close out the first half of the season.
Our models project Kuzma for 12.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 23.5 FanDuel points across 27.2 minutes of action.
