James has become a mainstay on the injury report this season, typically being listed even when he is expected to play. But the star did miss the last game for the Lakers against the Indiana Pacers so it's possible that he could sit out this matchup.
If James can't go, it would be a major loss for the Lakers. The Lakers rely very heavily on James on both ends of the court but especially on offense.
Additionally, many are expecting star guard Luka Doncic to make his debut tonight. Doncic was acquired by the Lakers at the trade deadline and has been recovering from an injury that he suffered back on Christmas Day while with the Dallas Mavericks.
