LeBron James, Austin Reaves Will Miss Monday’s Contest
2 years agoLos Angeles Lakers power forward LeBron James (ankle) and shooting guard/small forward Austin Reaves (ankle) have been ruled out for Monday's game against the Suns. James' absence marks his second consecutive instance of missing both legs of a back-to-back, having dropped 33 points in 37 minutes Sunday in a win over Washington. With Anthony Davis (foot) also sidelined, Russell Westbrook, Dennis Schroder, Lonnie Walker IV and Thomas Bryant will stand to see their offensive roles increased exponentially, making the quartet potential upside DFS plays. While James should be ready to return Wednesday vs. Sacramento, Reaves' absence marks his first of the year, making his return to action the murkier of the two.
