LeBron James (knee) doubtful Thursday for Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) is doubtful to play on Thursday versus the Los Angeles Clippers.

What It Means:

James is headed for a fifth consecutive absence on Thursday. His next opportunity to play will be on Saturday against the New York Knicks. Stanley Johnson will likely draw another start and there will continue to be more minutes for Carmelo Anthony, Talen Horton-Tucker, and Kent Bazemore.

Russell Westbrook is numberFire's second-best point-per-dollar value on Thursday's six-game slate. He has an $8,500 salary and our models project Russ for 47.2 FanDuel points over 34.9 minutes.
