LeBron James (ankle) expected to return Wednesday for Lakers
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN, James is expected to return after sitting out Tuesday's double-overtime comeback win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Anthony Davis (knee) is questionable for the second leg of the Lakers' back-to-back, so James could end up taking his spot in the starting lineup. Spencer Dinwiddie will likely return to the second unit if James and Davis are both active. D'Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura, and Taurean Prince will also have fewer opportunities with James back in the lineup.
numberFire's models project LeBron for 35.1 minutes and 46.7 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Lakers' implied total (113.25) is No. 6 out of 20 teams on the Main slate today.
