LeBron James (ankle) lacing up Thursday for Lakers
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is in the starting lineup on Thursday versus the Indiana Pacers.
What It Means:
James has been upgraded from questionable and is good to go. Patrick Beverley, Dennis Schroder, Rui Hachimura, and Anthony Davis are joining James in the Lakers' starting five. In the Lakers' last outing, James recorded his first triple-double of the season with 28 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists.
numberFire's models project LeBron ($10,700) for 34.9 minutes and 52.7 FanDuel points on Thursday versus a Pacers team allowing the third-most FanDuel points per game to small forwards. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Lakers have the second-highest implied total (121.5) out of 14 active teams today and the game total (240.5) is the highest on the board.
