Los Angeles Adds Frank Mason III To Training Camp
3 years agoPoint guard Frank Mason III inked a training-camp deal with the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday morning, giving the quick ball-handler a chance to make the team's active roster. Mason has bounced around the league over the past four seasons, most recently having appeared in four games (one start) with Orlando last year. In an average of just 15.7 minutes per contest throughout his career, Mason has dished out 2.6 assists in that span. With a deep point guard group consisting of Russell Westbrook, Kendrick Nunn, Rajon Rondo and even LeBron James and/or Talen Horton-Tucker, it's difficult to see a path forward for Mason, although he could showcase his myriad of skills for another franchise throughout the preseason.

LeBron James Cleared To Suit Up On Wednesday
15 mins agoLos Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) is available for Wednesday's clash with the Pacers. The multi-time All-Star missed seven games because of a groin injury. However, he's played in the Lakers' last two games. Although it may take James another game or two to return to form, he's still a must-start in any fantasy format. On the other hand, DFS managers may want to consider other options, considering his rostering cost.

James Harden Good To Go Against Knicks
16 mins agoLos Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (foot) will play in Wednesday's contest against the New York Knicks. The former MVP injured his right foot on Sunday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he has shaken off a questionable tag. Harden has been close to averaging a double-double in March, notching 26.2 points and 9.5 assists per game. He will continue to lead the offense against a Knicks team that is weakened in the backcourt due to injuries to Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (groin).

Rui Hachimura Available And Starting Versus Indiana
21 mins agoLos Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (knee) will play and start on Wednesday against Indiana. The veteran was on the shelf for an extended period because of a knee injury. Fortunately, he's been available for Los Angeles' previous two contests. However, Hachimura has struggled since returning, combing for just 10 points during that span. He's also been limited to fewer than 24 minutes. While a crack at the starting lineup should increase Hachimura's chances of added production, the minutes cap still makes him a risky fantasy option on Wednesday night.

Quentin Grimes Ready To Rock Wednesday
26 mins agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard/forward Quentin Grimes (rest) will be back on the floor Wednesday against the Washington Wizards. Philadelphia rested Grimes on Monday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Grimes has had a spectacular few weeks with the 76ers, averaging 28.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 2.1 steals in March. His run of good form this month includes a couple of 40-point efforts. Scoring should be easy for Grimes again on Wednesday against a Wizards team that gives up a league-high 120.5 points per game.
