The Lakers are 11.5-point favorites on Wednesday against the Rockets, according to FanDuel.

James had been expected to play on Tuesday against the Knicks, but according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, they deiced on another day of rest.

LeBron James is going to give that right ankle one more day of rest today vs. Knicks -- and target a return on Wednesday vs. Rockets, sources tell @mcten and me.

Much more optimism on state of LeBron James’ right ankle after on-court work Sunday and Monday, sources tell ESPN. James was pain-free after several days off – and able to make hard cuts and elevate. Return on Tuesday vs. Knicks is likely. https://t.co/UTXIC1V0Vh
