LeBron James

LeBron James has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Fantasy Impact

James will miss Wednesday’s game after logging 33 minutes in Tuesday’s 111-103 win over the New Orleans Pelicans. In his absence, Luka Doncic is expected to see a bump in usage, while Dalton Knecht and Jarred Vanderbilt will likely see increased minutes.

LeBron James is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Fantasy Impact

The Los Angeles Lakers will play the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday, so it would not be surprising if James sits after logging 33 minutes in Tuesday’s 111-103 win over the New Orleans Pelicans. James told reporters on Tuesday that he will know after his Wednesday afternoon nap whether he will be able to suit up against the San Antonio Spurs. If he is unable to play, Jarred Vanderbilt and Dalton Knecht could be in line for larger roles.

LeBron James scored 30 points (10-19 FG, 3-5 3PT, 7-7 FT) to go along with eight rebounds, eight assists, two steals and one block in the Lakers 111-103 win over the Pelicans.

Fantasy Impact

James continued his strong start to the new year with at least 26 points in three straight games and at least 30 points in two of them. He is also averaging eight rebounds and eight assists in the same span. He'll continue to take on a bigger role with Austin Reaves (calf) sidelined.

LeBron James flirted with a triple-double for the Lakers Friday night, dishing out six assists, grabbing nine rebounds, and scoring 31 points (12-18 FG, 1-5 3PT, 6-6 FT) in a 128-121 win over the Grizzlies.

Fantasy Impact

James continues an impactful stretch on both ends of the floor, grabbing two or more rebounds, dishing out four or more assists, and scoring 17 or more points in each of his last five games. The forward continues to offer fantasy managers an explosive lineup option in all formats as part of a high-octane Los Angeles starting five, averaging 20.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game while carrying a usage rate of 26.1% so far this season.

LeBron James endured a forgettable 41st birthday on Tuesday, finishing with 17 points (6-of-17 FGs, 2-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block, and three three-pointers in a loss to Detroit.

Fantasy Impact

The milestone night was spoiled by a poor shooting effort and sloppy ball security, as James committed five turnovers to compound the Lakers' struggles. The Pistons managed to shut him down as they pulled away in the third quarter for a comfortable win. James will look to bounce back when the Lakers host the Grizzlies for a two-game set starting Friday.
