Tue Apr 25 202310:05LeBron James Records His First 20-20 Game
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James produced his first career 20-20 game in Monday's 117-111 overtime win against Memphis, scoring 22 points and grabbing 20 rebounds. Playing in his 1691st career game, regular season and playoffs combined, LeBron secured the achievement with an offensive rebound with 1:36 left in overtime. He also had seven assists and two blocks in the game, although the NBA's all-time leading scorer struggled with his shooting a bit, going 8-for-18 from the field with a 1-for-7 effort from deep. James is now averaging 24.0 points, 13.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.0 steals in the series, which isn't bad for an "old" guy.

Sun Apr 23 202322:02LeBron James Listed As Probable For Game 4 Against Memphis
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) appears on the injury report again for right foot soreness but that doesn't look like it will stop him from trying to upset the Grizzlies in this series. He's been going back and forth with Dillon Brooks as he received added motivation to take out the second seed. James was able to knock down 25 points on 50% shooting right after Brooks said he was fine with "poking the bear." The Lakers will look to keep home-court advantage after stealing one on the road in Game 1.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James was outstanding in every area in Saturday's clash with the Grizzlies, completing a 111-101 victory with 25 points, nine rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block. He couldn't hit a single three-pointer with four attempts but still hit a very good 10-for-20 from the floor. LeBron's shot has been off from downtown for the whole series, but he's still scored efficiently and is averaging a double-double with 24.7 points and 10.7 rebounds. He's also posted 4.3 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.3 steals during his 16th playoff campaign.

Fri Apr 21 202321:03LeBron James Probable For Game 3
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is probable for Saturday's postseason game against Memphis. His presence on the injury report is only a formality, as the 38-year-old has logged at least 34 minutes during this series. He's played well, too, averaging 24.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, and 1.0 steals. Without question, James is an ideal DFS option. However, considering his Game 2 confrontation with Dillon Brooks, he may be even more productive.

Thu Apr 20 202311:34LeBron James Leads All Scorers Despite Loss
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James needed way more help than he received in Game 2 on Wednesday night. During the 10-point loss, King James finished the game with 28 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block while shooting 12-for-23 from the floor and just 1-for-8 from three. He's been the target of a lot of Dillon Brooks' trash talk which, as everyone knows, fuels James to take his game to another level. As the Lakers return home for the next two games, we might see a reinvigorated LeBron after all of the press conference bulletin board material he received.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James opened his 15th playoff campaign with a great all-around performance, recording 21 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, two steals and three blocks in a 128-112 win over Memphis. He finished with 8-for-16 shooting from the field and was 3-for-8 with the three-ball. James looks in top form at the start of the postseason, but he will want to clean up his turnovers, having now registered five-plus turnovers in six of his last seven appearances.

Sat Apr 15 202321:09LeBron James Probable For Game 1
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is expected to suit up for the Game 1 meeting with Memphis. James is back on the injury report with nagging right foot soreness. However, this is nothing new, meaning DFS managers should plan on him being out there for the series opener on Sunday. The 38-year-old had 23 points, nine rebounds, six assists, two blocks, and two steals against the Grizzlies in January, his only game versus Memphis this season. He also shot a rough 38.1% from the field and 20.0% from deep. Of course, there's a fantastic chance James will find his shot this time around, so he's an excellent DFS option.

Mon Apr 3 202318:54LeBron James Listed As Questionable On Tuesday
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz. It wouldn't be shocking to see James listed on the injury report for the rest of the regular season. This game is the first of a back-to-back set with the tougher matchup being against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. That being said, it's possible James does miss Tuesday's game. Troy Brown Jr. would be asked to move into the starting five if James is unable to play.

Mon Apr 3 202308:39LeBron James Logs His 107th Triple-Double
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James registered his 107th career triple-double in Sunday's matchup against Houston, finishing a blowout win with 18 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists. He logged only 29 minutes of action, adding a block on the defensive end and shooting 8-for-18 from the field with a 1-for-7 record from deep. LeBron, who is now tied for fourth with Jason Kidd on the all-time triple-doubles list, has been quiet on the scoring front lately, but he's still working his way back into rhythm after returning from a foot injury and should have something special reserved for the final few regular-season games as the Lakers continue to battle for a playoff position.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is available for Sunday's game versus the Houston Rockets. James was listed as questionable to play Sunday as he has been for the past couple games with foot soreness, but should see his usual workload. Looking ahead, the Lakers are nearing a back-to-back set of games Tuesday and Wednesday. It is possible James rests in at least one of these games which would lead the way for Troy Brown Jr. and Austin Reaves to see additional minutes.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. The superstar forward was questionable heading into their last contest and ended up playing 32 minutes in that one. The expectation is that James is going to have a similar workload on Sunday.

Thu Mar 30 202318:55LeBron James Uncertain For Friday

He looked good in that contest and he was able to play 31 minutes without any issues. Despite that, the Lakers are listing James as questionable for Friday's contest. Troy Brown Jr. would likely slide into the starting five if James is unable to play. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Friday for another update on his status.

Wed Mar 29 202315:35Lebron James Listed As Questionable Against Chicago
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is considered questionable against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday despite returning from his injury just a few days ago. The silver lining is that James has gone on to play in 74% of the games that he was originally listed as questionable for, which happens to be most of the games this season. He came off the bench in his first game back and played 29 minutes, so he could very well do something similar on Wednesday. If he happens to not play, Jarred Vanderbilt would likely see a bigger chunk of playing time.

Thu Mar 23 202318:22LeBron James Begins On-Court Activity
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) has begun doing some on-court activities. Despite that, the Lakers don't have a timetable for James return to the court. He has missed multiple weeks due to a tendon injury in his right foot. The hope is that James can return to the court before the end of the regular season. At this point, it's going to depend on how James feels, so there should be a better timetable later. James hasn't played since February 28th and might not return for a few more weeks.

Thu Mar 2 202318:57LeBron James Won't Undergo Surgery
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is set to miss at least three weeks of action. The star forward will be re-evaluated in three weeks after he suffered a tendon injury in his right foot. Luckily, James won't need surgery, but is going to miss at least 10 games because of this issue. That doesn't include ramp up time after James is re-evaluated and cleared to play. The Lakers are likely going to use a committee approach to try and fill the void. Troy Brown Jr. should start while Lonnie Walker IV and Austin Reaves get increased roles. Big man Anthony Davis is going to be asked to carry the load on offense. The trio of Brown, Walker, and Reaves should all be viable fantasy options while James is out.
