LeBron James, Talen Horton-Tucker Questionable For Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center LeBron James (knee) and shooting guard/small forward Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) have picked up questionable tags for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia.

Washington Capitals forward T.J. Oshie (lower body) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's clash with St. Louis.
