LeBron James (ankle) ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against Houston
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets.
What It Means:
James remains sidelined for the second game of Los Angeles' back-to-back with an ankle sprain. Expect Talen Horton-Tucker to play an increased role in a favorable matchup against a Houston unit ranked 28th in defensive efficiency.
According to Rotogrinders' Court IQ in 863.6 minutes this season with James off the floor, Horton-Tucker is averaging 0.97 FanDuel points and 0.40 field goal attempts per minute.
