James (foot) is expected to play Sunday against the Jazz, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
EDGE Analysis
James should be out there for the Lakers' regular-season finale, although he could hit the sidelines early if the game turns into a blowout, which wouldn't be all that surprising with Utah resting most of their main guys. James is safe to deploy in season-long settings, but he's a risky target in daily fantasy leagues.

James ended Wednesday's 125-118 loss to the Clippers with 33 points (13-20 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
James looked out of sorts in the first half of Wednesday's big crosstown contest, putting up just three points. He bounced back after halftime, tallying 30 points to finish with a game-high 33. The future Hall of Famer was particularly efficient from deep, going 4-fo-6 from three-point range. James appears to be well past the foot injury that cost him 13 games from Feb. 28 to March 24, as he's scored 70 points on 57.4 percent shooting from the field over his past two contests.

James (foot) racked up 37 points (14-27 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 135-133 overtime win over the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
James came into the contest listed as questionable with foot soreness, but he suited up for a fifth straight game and notched his fourth consecutive start. Tuesday's performance was by far James' best scoring outing since returning from a 13-game absence, but he continues to struggle with his three-point shot and has shot just 24 percent from deep over his past five appearances, though the Lakers are still 4-1 during that stretch.

EDGE Analysis
James has been upgraded from questionable to probable despite dealing with right foot soreness.

With the Lakers currently sitting in seventh place in the Western Conference, they will need James to play as many games as possible.
