4 years agoLos Angeles Lakers point guard/small forward LeBron James (ankle) is expected to be back on the floor Friday versus the Kings so long as he comes through warm-ups healthy. James has not appeared since March 20 due to a sprained ankle, with his absence allowing Dennis Schroder, Kyle Kuzma and others to see significantly elevated roles that are expected to correspondingly ebb with James back in action. Even with Sacramento owning the league's worst defensive efficiency metric, James' likely capped minutes total figures to affect his DFS appeal. Still, his return is a major boon for season-long managers in playoff competition as James looks to ramp up en route to an attempted second straight title run.--Jesse Borek
