LeBron James Could Sit Out Against Hornets
3 years agoLos Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He sat out of Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers due to left knee soreness. It appears James isn't quite fully healed yet, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Lakers be extra cautious here. Talen Horton-Tucker or Carmelo Anthony could be asked to move into the starting five. Both of them should have increased roles with Anthony having slightly more fantasy value. Also, Malik Monk should have an increased role and streaming appeal. Anthony Davis (wrist) and Russell Westbrook (knee) are both questionable as well, but would see the biggest increase in usage, assuming they can play. Fantasy managers are going to need to check back closer to tip-off for an update on these players.
