After taking a 2-1 series lead over the Golden State Warriors, the Los Angeles Lakers are looking to take a commanding 3-1 lead in Game 4 before heading back to San Francisco for Game 5. The same way they have for Games 1-3, the Lakers are listing LeBron James as probable for Game 4 vs. Golden State.

While James is expected to play, the Lakers have consistently listed him on the injury report as probable throughout these p[layoffs. The veteran forward has dealt with injuries throughout the course of the season, and it is right foot soreness that has him on the Game 4 injury report.

James has been fantastic so far in this series. While he is not scoring at the same level fans have grown used to seeing from him, he is orchestrating almost everything the Lakers are doing offensively, while battling on defense and the glass.

James is currently 9th in rebounds per game this postseason, pulling down 10.3 per contest. His 22.1 PPG is a playoff career low, but with Anthony Davis carrying most of the scoring load offensively for the Lakers, they have not needed James to produce major scoring numbers.

As LeBron James has shown throughout these playoffs, he is willing to do whatever his team needs from him in order to get a win. Listed as probable for Game 4, the star forward will look to keep that going on Monday night.
