Los Angeles Lakers DFS Spin
LeBron James (left ankle soreness) is questionable to play against Atlanta on Friday. LeBron has been playing through this ankle injury for a while, but he has been listed as questionable the last two games instead of probable. He should be good to go Friday, but if not, they’ll be looking to everyone available to provide offense, and Austin Reaves should slide into the starting unit.
Atlanta Hawks DFS Spin
Trae Young (left calf contusion) is listed as probable for Friday’s game against the Lakers. Trae missed their loss to Brooklyn on Wednesday with this calf contusion that he suffered against the Pacers on Tuesday. He should be back Friday, which means that Aaron Holiday will return to a role off the bench and Dejounte Murray won’t put up the big numbers that he did against the Nets.
