LeBron James has been marked as questionable due to his elbow issues. Meanwhile, Deandre Ayton is poised to make his return to the lineup as he has finally recovered from his knee injury.
James missed the team's 128-117 Friday win over the Indiana Pacers. As such, JJ Redick revealed that there is a chance he could play this weekend.
Ayton, who left prematurely in the Lakers' past loss against the Denver Nuggets, also didn't play against the Pacers. His return would be anticipated in dealing against the Knicks' frontcourt bannered by star big man Karl-Anthony Towns.
The Lakers (38-25) are holding the sixth-best record in the Western Conference heading to the Sunday home clash against the Knicks.
