LeBron James (ankle) pending Thursday for Lakers
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is uncertain for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards, per head coach Darvin Ham.
James led the Lakers to a 116-112 comeback win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night, with 34 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 blocks, and 7 three-pointers. If the Lakers give James the night off for the second leg of the back-to-back, there will be more minutes for Spencer Dinwiddie, Taurean Prince, and Cam Reddish. There should also be more ball-handling opportunities for D'Angelo Russell and Rui Hachimura.
numberFire's models project LeBron for 34.6 minutes and 49.9 FanDuel points on Thursday. Prince started in place of LeBron last week and scored 20.6 FanDuel points in 31.9 minutes.
