The Lakers expect Davis back, but they're keeping Lebron's status under wraps until game time. Not sure what the status is for Brown, Robert Williams either.

As if it really matters, we'll likely lose tonight. Not enough offense to contend with LA.
And RWill and Schroder are both questionable.
On to the next one.

Sounds like Brown has wanted to play since last weekend but ownership prefers to protect their assets. Since he's the only two-way, high-flying athletic player on the team, who could blame them for being cautious so early in the season. Maybe they value him "moar" than Tatum ... Hmmmmm.

Maybe LB's career would have been longer had they taken a tougher stance with him re injuries/time off.

LeBron James will play his first game since Nov. 2 on Friday night against the Boston Celtics after being cleared to return from an abdominal injury, according to the team.
Dennis Schroder will suit up for Boston against his former team despite dealing with a sprained left ankle. He was clear to play after a pregame workout.
“He’s (Brown) close, he’s raring to play,” Ime Udoka said. “We’re going to hold him back a little bit, myself and the medical staff. He really wanted to play tonight - let alone back home in Atlanta - but we feel he needs a little more time. He’s ramped it up over the last week or so. He’s not quite ready but he’ll be back soon.”
Brown could be back this weekend ...

Four things to watch for: Celtics-LakersBoston and Los Angeles meet with .500 on the line with both teams disappointing early in the season
By Keith P Smith
Winslow Townson-USA TODAY Sports
When the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers meet, you can throw out the records. Sure, both teams are circling around the .500 mark early in this season, but that doesn’t really matter. It’s Celtics vs Lakers! It’s Boston vs LA! East Coast vs West Coast! History vs Hollywood! Here’s what we’ve got our eyes on in this one: 1. Who plays? The Celtics have already ruled out Jaylen Brown, as he continues to work his way back from a hamstring strain. Robert Williams remains questionable to play with knee soreness, while Dennis Schroder was a late addition to the injury report due to a sprained left ankle. On the Lakers side, all eyes are on LeBron James. He’s been getting closer to a return from an abdominal strain for about a week now. Los Angeles head coach Frank Vogel said James is a game-time decision for Friday’s contest. 2. Pace: The Celtics have tended to slog through games, despite Ime Udoka initially urging his team to play faster. With injuries, and a limited offense, it seems Udoka has embraced a slow-paced, defense-first style for his team. The Lakers play at the league’s second-fastest pace, despite the advanced age of their roster. This often features Russell Westbrook making coast-to-coast forays off rebounds, but Anthony Davis like to push the ball too, as do a handful of the Lakers guards. Whichever team can get the game played in their style will go a long way towards deciding who wins this game. 3. Is Jayson Tatum back? Tatum put together a big game in a loss at Atlanta on Wednesday. He’s had a couple of other big-scoring games this season where he shot well, then Tatum has fallen right back into a slump. Was this really the slump-breaker? In the past, when Tatum has broken out of a slump, he’s tended to go on a multi-game heater. Boston would gladly welcome that, as points have been difficult to come by for this group. 4. Free throw shooting: Los Angeles fouls a lot. They put teams at the line the second-most of any team in the NBA. Despite some bellyaching to contrary, Boston actually draws the 10th most free throws per game. Both of those stats hold true for both the Celtics and Lakers even when adjusting for pace. Look for this to be a deciding factor in this one, especially if Boston can get the game played at a slower pace than LA wants.

Praying for signs of some pride from this team tonight. There's no way I'm watching another season like the last.

LA gives up most points in NBA and are prolific foulers ... C's rank 1oth as far as getting to the line so FTs could be a deciding factor.
