Availability

LeBron James flirted with a triple-double for the Lakers Saturday night, dishing out 10 assists, grabbing seven rebounds, and scoring 20 points (6-17 FG, 2-7 3PT, 6-7 FT) while also blocking one shot and recording one steal in a 105-99 win over the Warriors.
Fantasy Impact
James continues an impactful stretch on both ends of the floor, grabbing three or more rebounds, dishing out six or more assists, and scoring 17 or more points in each of his last five games. The veteran forward remains a high-impact option as part of an explosive Los Angeles starting five for head coach JJ Reddick, averaging 21.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game while posting a usage rate of 27.3% so far this season.
James recorded 17 points on 7-of-17 shooting and 3-of-3 from the free-throw line in Thursday's win over the 76ers. He added four rebounds, 10 assists and one blocked shot for the double-double. James committed eight turnovers, accounting for eight of the Lakers' 22 team turnovers.
Fantasy Impact
The Lakers rallied in the fourth quarter to secure the victory. Luka Dončić left the game with a leg injury, and if he misses time, James' role in the Lakers' offense will expand further beyond the playmaking responsibilities reflected in his 10 assists.
