LeBron James Drops Triple-Double Against Thunder
5 years agoLos Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James tallied 25 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, two triples, and two steals in a 112-107 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. It's James' fifth triple-double this year- and he became the first player in NBA history to record one against every team. Playing with Anthony Davis has skyrocketed James' playmaking ceiling, as he's averaged a career-high 11.1 assists through the first 14 games. The assists have helped to mask a slight dip in shooting efficiency for the 34-year-old, though it's not a concern moving forward. The ageless wonder will get a couple days to rest his body before taking on the Thunder again on Friday.

LeBron James On Track To Play Wednesday
3 days agoLos Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) is listed as probable for Wednesday's visit to Indianapolis. James returned from a groin injury against the Chicago Bulls last week and looks 100 percent. He played without any restrictions on Monday night against the Orlando Magic, registering 24 points, six rebounds, and seven assists in 38 minutes. Wednesday's game marks the beginning of a back-to-back, so it will be interesting to see if James will also be available for Thursday's rematch against the Bulls.

LeBron James Good To Go On Monday
4 days agoLos Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) is available for Monday's clash with the Magic. The 40-year-old suffered a strained groin during the March 8 loss to the Boston Celtics. As a result, he was sidelined for seven games. James returned for Saturday's loss to the Bulls, finishing with 17 points, six boards, four assists, and three steals. With that said, he could have trouble getting anything going on Monday versus a Magic team that has allowed only 106.1 points per game this season, the best mark in the NBA.

LeBron James Expected To Play On Monday
5 days agoLos Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) is listed as probable ahead of Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. James made his return to the court on Saturday after missing the last seven games due to a groin issue. He finished with 17 points, six rebounds, and four assists across 31 minutes of action. The absence of James would mean a higher workload for Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, and possibly Jarred Vanderbilt.

LeBron James Returning On Saturday Night
6 days agoLos Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) will play on Saturday against the Bulls. The veteran injured his groin during the loss to the Boston Celtics on March 8 and has missed the last six games. The Lakers could certainly use him, with the team looking to catch the Rockets for the No. 2 spot in the Western Conference heading toward the postseason. It's logical to assume he'll see less minutes in his first game back from a lengthy absence, so he may not be the best choice for DFS managers. Still, James should be added back into all redraft lineups. With Luka Doncic (ankle), Rui Hachimura (knee), and Austin Reaves (ankle) available, guys like Gabe Vincent (knee), Dalton Knecht, and Jordan Goodwin won't be as productive for fantasy managers.
