Because LeBron James is listed as having an ailment, it is possible that the Lakers will not have their best player available for the game. 

The four-time NBA Champion did not participate in the team’s most recent game, which means that he will be absent from the lineup for the second consecutive game (if he does not play).   

This information comes from Underdog NBA: “LeBron James (ankle) is questionable for Monday.”

James has participated in 36 games and has a scoring average of 24.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, 7.6 assists, and 1.4 steals per game. He also has a field goal percentage of 52.1% and a three-point percentage of 38.9%.
