Lakers' LeBron James: Listed as probable
Rotowire
James is probable for Saturday's In-Season Tournament finale versus Indiana due to a left calf contusion.
James has been a regular on the Lakers' injury report due to the calf injury, but it'd likely take a serious setback for him not to play Saturday. The 38-year-old MVP candidate looked fresh and agile during the team's blowout win over the Pelicans in the semifinals, so the lingering issue shouldn't impact his productivity.
Lakers' Austin Reaves: Impresses off bench Thursday
Rotowire
Reaves amassed 17 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Thursday's 133-89 victory over the Pelicans.
When the team needed another playmaker, a big shot or a stop on defense, Reaves was there. Despite coming off the bench, he delivered an impressive outing on both ends of the court and was instrumental as the Lakers built a massive lead in the third quarter, one they'd never relinquish. Reaves is expected to play a key role off the bench once again when the Lakers face the Pacers on Saturday during the In-Season Tournament championship.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Records double-double in win
Rotowire
Davis posted 16 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals over 31 minutes during Thursday's 133-89 win over the Pelicans.
Davis was the perfect sidekick for LeBron James on Thursday. He was excellent as a rebounder, defender and playmaker, but he also made shots when he had to, finishing with a strong double-double and a massive stat line. Davis has no problem being the top option on offense for the Lakers, but he is at his best when supplementing James as an alternative who can get it done on both ends of the court. Davis will try to keep it going Saturday when the Lakers take on the Pacers during the In-Season Tournament championship.

Lakers' LeBron James: Shines in blowout win Thursday
Rotowire
James recorded 30 points (9-12 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five rebounds and eight assists in 23 minutes during Thursday's 133-89 win over the Pelicans.
James was a man on a mission Thursday, and it showed, as he barely missed a shot from the field and carried the team on his back at times, making clutch buckets whenever the Pelicans tried to get close in the first half and extending the lead to a blowout during the second half. James will try to keep the momentum going when the Lakers face the Pacers on Saturday in the In-Season Tournament championship.
