James is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Raptors.

Brandon Miller (knee) is inactive for Wednesday's game, so James will get the spot-start and he'll be joined in the first unit by LaMelo Ball, Kon Knueppel, Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabate. As a starter this season, James owns averages of 6.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 triples per contest on 36/32/78 shooting splits.

James (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
James is dealing with an illness and is at risk of missing Monday's contest. With Kon Knueppel (ankle) out, James would be slated for a significant role if available against Milwaukee. If he sits, Collin Sexton and Josh Green could see expanded roles.

James provided seven points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and three assists across 21 minutes during Monday's 139-132 loss to the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
With the Hornets close to full strength, James may struggle to find enough minutes and touches to make a fantasy impact outside of deeper formats. Over his last five games, James has averaged 8.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 three-pointers in 25.2 minutes per contest.

James will come off the bench for Thursday's game versus the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
James will return to the second unit with LaMelo Ball back in action, so his minutes will likely dip Thursday. As a reserve this season, James owns averages of 6.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 triples in 22.5 minutes per game.

James is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
James will replace KJ Simpson in the first unit with LaMelo Ball (ankle) out once again. Although James is listed as the starting point guard, it's likely that Kon Knueppel and Brandon Miller initiate most of the offense.

James racked up 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes during Friday's 129-126 loss to Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
James scored double digits for just the seventh time this season, a welcome sight for anyone who streamed him in. While the offensive production was unexpected, his defensive contributions continue to be mostly underwhelming. At this stage, it appears as though James could end up being a player whose real-life value outweighs his fantasy value, making him a hard player to trust outside of deeper formats.
