LeBron James Makes A Season-High 11 Free Throws
LeBron James came out firing on all cylinders to kick off the second half of the season. In a 117-105 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night, James had 32 points on 10-for-17 shooting, seven assists, three rebounds, and two blocks in 36 minutes. The 35-year old took some punishment on Friday and made a season-high 11 free throws on 13 attempts. The Lakers are locked in a battle for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, and owners should expect James to continue to produce at an incredible rate and maintain his season averages of 25.0 points on 48.9 percent shooting, 10.8 assists, and 7.8 rebounds, down the closing stretch.

LeBron James Listed As Probable For Game 1
LeBron James (hip) is considered probable for Saturday's Game 1 against the Minnesota Timberwolves. After dealing with foot and groin injuries, James is now on the injury report with a left hip flexor strain. However, the probable tag suggests that he is expected to be on the floor. James was limited to 19.7 points per game on 41.5 percent shooting by the Timberwolves during the regular season. He will need to do better in the playoff series to avoid a second consecutive first-round loss with his team.

LeBron James Listed As Questionable For Tuesday
LeBron James (groin) is considered questionable for the first leg of a back-to-back on Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The four-time MVP is managing a groin injury, which sidelined him for seven games last month. Since his return to the lineup, James has played in all nine games. Luka Doncic (groin) and Austin Reaves (ankle) are also iffy for Tuesday's game, meaning players such as Jordan Goodwin and Dalton Knecht may have much larger roles to play.

LeBron James Ready To Go Versus OKC
LeBron James (groin) is available for Sunday's meeting with OKC. The Lakers are hoping to lock up the No. 3 spot in the Western Conference. However, Los Angeles has a tough task on the horizon versus arguably the best team in the National Basketball Association. With that in mind, James struggled the last time he faced the Thunder back in November, finishing with only 12 points while committing five turnovers.

LeBron James Probable Thursday
LeBron James (groin) is considered probable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. James is set for another head-to-head battle against Stephen Curry despite being on the injury report with a left groin strain, which sidelined the Lakers superstar for seven games last month. Since returning, James has struggled with his shooting, going 43.4 percent from the field to average 18.7 points per game. He will attempt to regain form against a team that has struggled to contain him this season. Over three meetings with the Warriors, James has posted 32.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 10.0 assists with 57.1 percent three-point shooting.
