Tonight at 4:30 p.m. PT, your Los Angeles Lakers will hope to finish off the Memphis Grizzlies at FedEx Forum in their ongoing best-of-seven first round playoff series.

LA leads the matchup a somewhat surprising 3-1, but if the three players currently on the NBA's latest injury report can't suit up for the Lakers, the series will reach a 3-2 record in a hurry.

As has been the case across each of the club's prior four contests, All-Star Los Angeles small forward LeBron James, center Anthony Davis, and reserve point guard Dennis Schroder are all listed as merely "probable" to play tonight.

Davis' ailment is listed as the right foot stress injury he's been dealing with for most of the season, although he did land gingerly on his hip during LA's Game 4 117-111 overtime win over Memphis, and during the broadcast it seemed as if the hip was the issue troubling him most.

On the Grizzlies' side of the equation, the usual suspects remain out for what could be the team's season finale. Big men Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke are done for the year, and it appears that rookie combo forward Jake LaRavia is no closer to returning from the right calf strain that has also kept him sidelined throughout this series.
