UPDATE: LeBron James and Anthony Davis are available, while Mo Bamba has been ruled out. 

On Wednesday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers will be at the Chase Center in San Francisco to face off against the Golden State Warriors for Game 5 of their second-round playoffs series.  

For the game, they have announced their injury report (updated as of 6:30 Eastern Time).  

Anthony Davis and LeBron James are both probable, while backup center Mo Bamba is questionable.  

Since Davis and James are both listed as probable, they will likely be in the starting lineup. 

NBA's official injury report 

The Lakers have a 3-1 lead in the series, so a victory would close out the Warriors on Wednesday evening.  

If the Warriors survive, then Game 6 will be back in Los Angeles on Friday evening (a potential Game 7 would be in San Francisco on Sunday). 

The Lakers have had a remarkable turnaround. 

After missing the postseason last year, they had an up-and-down regular season but were able to finish as the seventh seed in the Western Conference (with a 43-39 record). 

They defeated the Memphis Grizzlies (who were in the second seed) in the first round in six games. 

As for the Warriors, they are the sixth seed and beat the Sacramento Kings in the first round in seven games. 

They have won the NBA Championship four times (and been to the NBA Finals six times) in the previous eight seasons. 

That said, they have looked like a much different team than they did last year when they beat the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.
