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 (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.

LeBron James (groin) will miss a sixth straight game on Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. He continues to work his way back from a left groin strain suffered against the Boston Celtics on March 8. James is also expected to miss the second leg of a back-to-back on Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks. During James' absence,
Jordan Goodwin has joined the starting lineup, while
Austin Reaves has significantly increased his offensive output. Over the last five games, Reaves has averaged 28.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 7.6 assists.

2 weeks agoAccording to Jovan Buha of The Athletic, Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick said that forward
LeBron James (groin) has already been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Bucks and Friday's matchup against the Nuggets, and is considered day-to-day moving forward. James' streak of missed games will extend to three after Friday's contest due to a left-groin strain. Despite being out of action for the next two games, the 40-year-old star forward could potentially return to the floor on Sunday against the Suns. In 10 outings since the All-Star game, he has posted averages of 28.3 points, 10.5 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 steals during 36.5 minutes per game.
