Provides 24 points in victory
James produced 24 points (9-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and two blocks across 32 minutes during Sunday's 110-93 victory over the Raptors.
Análisis
While James has often taken a seat for one game of back-to-back sets, the Lakers' skid in the Western Conference standings has demanded an increased presence from the veteran. He played both games of the back-to-back for only the second time this season and showed no immediate signs of wear after a brutal schedule of five games over seven days. James continues to embrace his role as a ball distributor, as his seven-assist effort raised his seasonal average to 6.9 assists per game.

Will play Sunday
James (foot/sciatica) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Análisis
After posting 20 points (6-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's loss to Portland, James will shed his questionable tag and suit up in the second leg of this back-to-back set. The 41-year-old has appeared in each of the Lakers' last five outings, averaging 25.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.6 steals across 32.8 minutes per game during that span.

Game-time call Sunday
James is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raptors due to left foot joint arthritis, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
Análisis
James is fresh off an impressive performance in Saturday's loss to the Blazers but evidently isn't feeling 100 percent leading up to the second half of the team's back-to-back. Expect the Lakers to provide an update on his availability closer to game time.

Nears triple-double in blowout loss
James accumulated 20 points (6-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's 132-116 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Análisis
The Lakers' efficiency was severely hampered by Luka Doncic's (groin) absence, and James was unable to turn the tide against the surging Trail Blazers. Despite the productive result, it's evident that James' days of single-handedly taking over games in dire situations are mostly behind him, but his attempt to reverse the slide was also hampered by absences from Deandre Ayton (knee) and Jaxson Hayes (hamstring). Austin Reaves' (calf) extended absence hasn't helped matters either.

Flirts with triple-double
James notched 31 points (12-20 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 141-116 victory over the Hawks.
Análisis
James came close to his first triple-double since last February, which coincidentally coincided with the acquisition of Luka Doncic that occurred later that evening. James also played both games of this week's back-to-back set, which is a rarity for the 23-year veteran this season. His 31-point effort matched his second-best scoring total of the season.

Good to go Tuesday
James (foot/sciatica) is available for Tuesday's game against the Hawks, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Análisis
Although he's working through foot and back injuries, James has been cleared to play in the second leg of the Lakers' back-to-back set Tuesday. He played 33 minutes during Monday's loss to the Kings, finishing with 22 points, four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 33 minutes.

Questionable for Tuesday
James (injury management) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.
Análisis
This is an expected update from the Lakers. Tuesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and with James managing soreness in his foot and back, he could be due for a maintenance day.

Scores 22 points in loss
James contributed 22 points (8-17 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 124-112 loss to the Kings.
Análisis
James missed all five of his three-pointers and wasn't able to right the ship for the Lakers, as the franchise lost its third straight game. Tuesday's game against Atlanta is the second night of a back-to-back set, and based on James' previous comments regarding back-to-backs, he's questionable to play depending on how he's feeling.
