After the first game of the Lakers' back-to-back, coach Ham said he believed James and Davis would be available on Wednesday. “In all likelihood, I’m sure they’ll play," Ham said. “We’ll see how they feel when they wake up in the morning.” It helps that both players played less than 30 minutes in Tuesday's blowout win against the Raptors.
Los Angeles has a matchup against the Wizards, who are riddled with injuries and have lost three of their last four outings. The Lakers' 112.0 Defensive Rating over the last 10 contests ranks near the league's top-ten marks, while Washington's 106.1 Offensive Rating over that span ranks bottom-four league-wide.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quad) — Out
Jalen Williams (ankle) — Out
The Thunder lost the first leg of a back-to-back set on Tuesday without Gilgeous-Alexander and Williams. They'll hope to get their stars back against the Celtics, who are a league-best 59-16 and have won 22 of 27 games since February 1. Gilgeous-Alexander played well in the previous outing against Boston, totaling 36 points and seven assists in the win. Oklahoma City is 1-3 without him this season, with its lone victory coming two games ago. The Thunder average 11.5 turnovers per contest with Gilgeous-Alexander in the lineup, but 15.5 per game when he's sidelined.

MarJon Beauchamp (back) — Available
Damian Lillard (groin) — Out
Khris Middleton (injury management) — Out
Patrick Beverley (ankle) — Out
Jaylin Galloway (ankle) — Out
Lillard missed Tuesday's loss, and coach Rivers provided insight on the injury before the contest. "It's something you gotta be careful with. It's not a concern," Rivers said. "Everything came out well in all of his tests. He may even play tomorrow. But it would either be tomorrow or Toronto, most likely."
Beverley was available for that most recent game but exited the contest early and did not return. When Rivers was asked about it, he noted that he was unsure if Beverley would miss games moving forward, but thought he'd be fine.

Confirmed Lineup: Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Royce O'Neale, Kevin Durant, Jusuf Nurkic
Grayson Allen (hip) — Out
Damion Lee (knee) — Injured
Allen has been one of the league's best long-range shooters this season, converting a career-high 46.9% of his three-point attempts. If he can suit up, he'll have an intriguing matchup against the Cavs, whose opponents have shot 38.7% from beyond the arc over the last 15 outings. Allen made four of his five three-pointers in the previous meeting with Cleveland, finishing with 14 points in the win. It's worth noting, however, that Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley were not available in that most recent contest between the two teams, and both should be in the lineup on Wednesday.
