  • Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) out Thursday vs. Nuggets
    Jarred Vanderbilt (right mid-foot sprain) has been ruled out for the Lakers’ Thursday matchup against the Nuggets

    Advice: Vanderbilt was aiming for a 2024 playoff debut in Game 3 but isn’t quite ready to make a return. He’ll get another chance to suit up for Game 4 on Saturday and Rui Hachimura will continue to carry a heavy workload during his absence. Rotoworld 6 minutes ago
     
  • Sidelined for Game 3
    Reddish (ankle) won't play in Thursday's Game 3 against Denver, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Advice: Reddish will miss a sixth consecutive game -- stretching back to the regular season -- with a sprained right ankle. Taurean Prince should continue to benefit from Reddish's absence. His next chance to play will come Saturday for Game 4. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago

  • Missing Game 3
    Vanderbilt (foot) won't play in Thursday's game against the Nuggets, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Advice: Vanderbilt was highly involved in the Lakers' shootaround Monday and appears to be nearing his first taste of game action since Feb. 1. However, he'll still be inactive for Thursday's Game 3, making Saturday's Game 4 Vanderbilt's next chance to go. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Another probable tag
    James (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's Game 2 against Denver, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Advice: James has been listed as probable for each of the first two games of the series but has averaged 39.5 minutes per contest. Considering he's looked to be 100 percent in both games and has been an injury report mainstay this season, fantasy managers should expect James to be available Thursday.

  • Probable for Thursday
    Davis (back) is probable for Thursday's Game 3 matchup with the Nuggets, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Advice: AD played through the back issue during Game 2 and logged 39 minutes on his way to a 32-point, 11-rebound double-double, so it clearly didn't impact him all that much. We should get official confirmation on his status closer to Thursday's tip. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
     
  • Missing First Round series
    Wade (knee) is out indefinitely and won't play in the remainder of the Cavaliers First Round series against the Magic, the team announced Wednesday.

    Advice: Wade hasn't taken the floor since March 8 due to a right knee sprain and will be sidelined for the remainder of the series against Orlando. In the announcement, the Cavaliers said that a recent MRI revealed that Wade would need more time for recovery and is out indefinitely. Georges Niang and Isaac Okoro should continue to see plenty of action off the bench at the forward spots. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
