Dalton Knecht

James and Davis routinely appear on the Lakers' injury report, but the former did miss two games last week. Dalton Knecht and Gabe Vincent replaced James in the lineup for those games, with the latter being the more likely choice if needed on Saturday. As for Davis, a potential absence would push Christian Koloko up on the depth chart.

The Lakers are without two starters for Sunday's game, as Austin Reaves (pelvis) and LeBron James (foot) will not play. Vincent and Christie are the replacements, with the changes boosting the former's streaming value. However, neither should be deemed a must-stream player in this spot.

Upgraded from questionable to probable early Sunday afternoon, James is now doubtful for Sunday's game. There's an opportunity to get the soon-to-be 40-year-old James additional rest, as the Lakers won't play again until Friday against the Timberwolves. His absence would raise the fantasy ceilings of multiple players, including D'Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura, and Dalton Knecht.

James has yet to miss a game this season, but Sunday's matchup may represent a good opportunity to get him additional rest. Portland is coming off a 42-point defeat, and the Lakers won't play again until next Friday. LeBron will likely give it a go, with a potential absence boosting the values of Dalton Knecht, D'Angelo Russell, and Rui Hachimura.

The Lakers are still without Austin Reaves, but Vincent will replace him in the starting lineup after D'Angelo Russell did the two games before. While this raises Vincent's fantasy ceiling, he remains a deep-league option.
