James (foot) is in the starting lineup for Game 3 versus Golden State on Saturday, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, James received the green light for Saturday's game after being listed as probable for the contest. Through the first two games of the series, James has averaged 22.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists over 34.0 minutes. However, he saw only 28 minutes in Game 2 due to the blowout, so fantasy managers should expect more opportunities for the 38-year-old Saturday.

James (foot) is probable for Game 3 versus the Warriors on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Probable tags are par for the course when it comes to James and Anthony Davis (foot), and there hasn't been much concern about either player in several weeks. James and Davis will be looking to get the Lakers back on track after a dreadful showing by the team in Game 2.

James accumulated 23 points (10-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Thursday's 127-100 loss to the Warriors in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

James finally found his shooting stroke and had a game-high 21 first-half points, but he went just 1-for-5 from the field in the third quarter as Golden State's lead ballooned to 30 points and didn't play in the fourth, along with the rest of the Lakers' starters. As the series shifts to Los Angeles, it'll be important to keep an eye on Kevon Looney's (illness) availability. With Looney in the starting lineup in Game 1, Draymond Green was tasked with guarding James, which led to a poor shooting night for the latter, but Green had to shift to center in Game 2 with Looney not at 100 percent, which could've played a role in James' offensive explosion in the first half. Either way, the Lakers will likely need James and Davis at their best, regardless of who's being guarded by Green, to avoid giving back home-court advantage over the next two games.

James (foot) has been cleared to play in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals versus the Warriors on Thursday, according to Ryan Ward of Lakers Nation.

EDGE Analysis

Anthony Davis (foot) has also been given the green light by the Lakers. Los Angeles has made a habit of listing both James and Davis as probable, so their status wasn't in any real doubt.

James (right foot soreness) is probable for Thursday's Game 2 versus the Warriors, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

James has landed a probable designation leading up to every playoff game thus far and is once again on the injury report ahead of Thursday's Game 2 action. Despite this, James has managed to handle a full workload in every contest, averaging 22.1 points, 11.1 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.6 blocks over 37.6 minutes per game in the playoffs.

James notched 22 points (9-24 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and three blocks across 40 minutes during Tuesday's 117-112 victory over Golden State in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

James struggled with his efficiency, especially from deep, but he made his presence felt on the boards and blocked three shots, including a clutch swat of Stephen Curry late in the fourth quarter. Draymond Green was tasked with guarding James, while Kevon Looney matched up with Anthony Davis, but it'll be interesting to see if Golden State switches up its defensive assignments after Davis' stellar outing in Game 1. Regardless of who's guarding James, he figures to remain aggressive as the series progresses and should have better shooting nights moving forward.

James (foot) is good to go for Game 1 versus the Warriors on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

James and Anthony Davis (foot) were both carrying probable tags into Tuesday but that is simply how the Lakers operate. Neither player was in any real jeopardy of missing the opening game of this series.

James is listed as probable for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Warriors due to right foot soreness, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

James has unsurprisingly been added to his team's injury report, and all indications point towards him playing in the first game of the Western Conference Semifinals. Expect confirmation from the Lakers on his availability closer to tipoff.

James racked up 22 points (9-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 125-85 victory over Memphis in Game 6 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

EDGE Analysis

James' final stat line wasn't eye-popping by his standards, but he was extremely efficient while also logging less than 35 minutes for the first time in the series. James averaged 22.2 points, 11.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.3 blocks per game in the series, and he should be driving force for Los Angeles in the Conference Semifinals, regardless of if the team ends up playing the Kings or Warriors.

James (foot) is in the starting lineup for Game 6 versus the Grizzlies on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

No surprises here, and Anthony Davis (foot) has also been given the green light with both players carrying probable tags prior to this update. James will be looking to bounce back after a poor showing in Game 5 in which he was held to 15 points on 5-of-17 field goals.
