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.

James (foot) is listed as probable for Game 6 versus the Grizzlies on Friday, according to Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times.
EDGE Analysis
Probable tags for James are nothing to be alarmed about. James is coming off a muted effort in Game 5, scoring just 15 points on 5-of-17 shooting. In addition to James, Anthony Davis (foot) and Dennis Schroder (Achilles) are also carrying probable tags.

EDGE Analysis
James struggled shooting from the field Wednesday despite tallying a double-double performance. James failed to score more than 15 points for the first time this postseason, but he has still recorded a double-double in four of his five outings.

James (foot) is available and in the starting lineup for Game 5 against the Grizzlies on Wednesday, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
EDGE Analysis
James has been upgraded from probable to available yet again for Game 5. With the Lakers playing Memphis in a close-out game, the superstar forward will likely look to impose his will in order to obtain some extra rest ahead of the next round of the playoffs.

James (foot) is probable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Grizzlies, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
James, Anthony Davis (foot) and Dennis Schroder (foot) are all listed as probable again, but they've suited up for each game of the opening-round series thus far. James is coming off a 22-point, 20-rebound night in Game 4 and has averaged 24.0 points, 13.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.0 steals in 38.5 minutes through four matchups versus Memphis.

James notched 22 points (8-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 20 rebounds, seven assists and two blocks over 45 minutes during Monday's 117-111 overtime win over the Grizzlies in Game 4 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
EDGE Analysis
James hauled in a playoff career-high 20 rebounds in the win, powering the Lakers to an emphatic come-from-behind victory. After a turbulent start to the season, the Lakers are now just one win away from eliminating the Grizzlies. Should they do so, a second-round matchup with either the Warriors or the Kings would await. With that series tied at 2-2, a victory in Game 5 could actually afford James some much-needed rest.

James (foot) is listed as probable for Monday's Game 4 against Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
James, Anthony Davis (foot) and Dennis Schroder (foot) all continue to be listed as probable, but they've all suited up for each postseason game and will likely do so again Monday.

James ended Saturday's 111-101 victory over the Grizzlies in Game 3 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with 25 points (10-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
James came just one rebound shy of his third double-double of the series as the Lakers held a significant lead throughout. James and Anthony Davis put together a prolific first half where the Lakers led by as much as 29 points. With James and Davis both healthy, it's looking more and more likely that they'll pull a quarterfinal upset and advance.

James (foot) is in the starting lineup for Game 3 against the Grizzlies on Saturday, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
James was listed as probable, but he was always expected to play in a pivotal contest for the Lakers. The star forward is averaging 24.5 points, 11.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists per contest in the first two games of the series, and he should handle a full workload with no restrictions as has been the case in the postseason run so far.
