LeBron James (ankle) questionable Thursday for Lakers
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (sore left ankle) is questionable for Thursday against the Indiana Pacers.
What It Means:
James sat out the front end of a back-to-back on Monday versus the Brooklyn Nets, but he returned for Tuesday's matchup with the New York Knicks in Madison Square Garden and recorded his first triple-double of the season. James should be good to go again for Thursday's visit to the Pacers, but if he winds up resting, Lonnie Walker could enter the starting lineup and play extended minutes. Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis would also be in line for more work if James is inactive.
numberFire's models project LeBron for 34.7 minutes and 46.6 FanDuel points on Thursday. He averaged 58.5 FanDuel points in the month of January.
