LeBron James (ankle) officially unavailable Tuesday for Lakers
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
What It Means:
The Lakers downgraded James from doubtful for the front end of their back-to-back set. He should be back in the lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. Spencer Dinwiddie could remain in the starting lineup after filling in for D'Angelo Russell last game. Taurean Prince is another option to replace James in the first unit. Russell, Anthony Davis, Rui Hachimura, and Cam Reddish all tend to benefit from additional opportunities when James is inactive this season.
Dinwiddie is numberFire's top point-per-dollar value on Tuesday. He has a $5,200 salary and our models project him for 30.8 FanDuel points. Hachimura ($5,400), Russell ($7,500), and Davis ($11,500) are also top-six value options on the Main slate, according to our projections.
