Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, LeBron James and Deandre Ayton will start Sunday's game against the 76ers.Doncic has rejoined the team after missing two games for personal reasons, while James is back in the lineup after not playing in Friday's loss to the Celtics. Their returns mean that Gabe Vincent and Jake LaRavia head back to the bench, with the latter offering a higher fantasy ceiling when used in a reserve role.
LeBron James (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the 76ers.James is good to go after sitting out Friday's loss to the Celtics, which was the Lakers' second game in as many nights. His return means that Jake LaRavia will come off the bench, lowering his fantasy ceiling.
LeBron James (foot) is now probable for Sunday's game against the 76ers.Initially questionable after sitting out Friday's loss to the Celtics, James is on track to play Sunday evening. His return would bounce Jake LaRavia to the bench, where he offers limited fantasy value.
LeBron James (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the 76ers.James did not play in Friday's loss to the Celtics, which was the Lakers' second game in as many nights. The fact that he remains on the injury report is somewhat concerning, but James does have a chance of playing. If he can't, Jake LaRavia will stay in the starting lineup and is worth streaming in deep leagues.
Jake LaRavia started on Friday and contributed six points (2-of-6 FGs), one rebound, one assist and three steals against the Celtics.LaRavia returned to the starting lineup with LeBron James (sciatica) sidelined for the second night of the Lakers' back-to-back. LaRavia has been effective in previous starts this season, but he wasn't able to contribute much during his 21 minutes in this game. LeBron should be back to take on the 76ers on Sunday, so LaRavia will return to the bench, which will eliminate the streaming value he held.
