Bradley won't play in Wednesday's game against Utah due to a right knee injury, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Lakers are labeling Bradley's injury as a "right knee effusion," and he will thus miss his first game since Christmas against Brooklyn. Malik Monk and Wayne Ellington are candidates to see increased usage versus the Jazz on Wednesday in the absence of Bradley.

Bradley will start Wednesday's game at Portland, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran guard came off the bench the past two games -- and was held scoreless -- but will rejoin the starting five with Russell Westbrook (back) missing his first game of the season. Bradley has averaged 7.1 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 25.2 minutes as a starter for the Lakers.

Bradley will come off the bench Saturday against the Knicks, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Frank Vogel is experimenting with a new starting five, sending Bradley to the bench while Russell Westbrook, Malik Monk, LeBron James, Stanley Johnson and Anthony Davis start. In five previous outings as a reserve, Bradley has averaged 5.2 points and 1.0 rebounds in 14.2 minutes.

Bradley (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Hornets, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

The shorthanded Lakers -- down LeBron James (knee), Anthony Davis (wrist) and Malik Monk (groin) -- may need more from Bradley than usual. This month, he's averaging 8.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 24.6 minutes.

Bradley is listed as questionable for Friday's contest against the Hornets due to a stomach illness, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bradley played 26 minutes during Thursday's loss, but his status for the second half of the back-to-back is up in the air. Malik Monk (groin) has already been ruled out, so if Bradley is also sidelined, Wayne Ellington, Austin Reaves, Talen Horton-Tucker and Kent Bazemore would all be candidates for increased roles.

Bradley accumulated nine points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 20 minutes during Friday's 116-105 win over Orlando.

EDGE Analysis

Bradley has remained in the starting lineup since returning to the court in late December, but his scoring output has been limited by a lackluster shot volume recently. He's been held to single figures in the scoring column in each of the last six games and has averaged 6.5 points and 1.8 rebounds in 23.5 minutes per contest during that time.

Bradley finished with 21 points (8-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and six rebounds over 24 minutes during Friday's 134-118 win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Bradley is known more for his defensive ability rather than his scoring exploits, but this wasn't the case Friday since he ended as one of the Lakers' highest-scoring players. The fact that he has scored at least 14 points in three of his last six appearances is encouraging for his fantasy upside, at least on a short-term basis.

Bradley (neck) is available Tuesday against the Kings, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bradley will play through his neck injury. Over the past four games, he's averaged 10.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 29.0 minutes.

Bradley (neck) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Kings with a cervical strain.

EDGE Analysis

Bradley has started the past four games, and it appears the neck strain won't prevent him from suiting up Tuesday. He's averaged 10.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 29.0 minutes during that stretch.

Bradley (head) is starting Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bradley will be able to play through his head contusion after he was listed as questionable for Friday's matchup. He's averaged 10.5 points in 31.5 minutes per game across his last two appearances.
