Los Angeles Lakers stars LeBron James, Dennis Schroder, and Anthony Davis will all return to the lineup on Saturday against the Indiana Pacers, according to the New York Post's Marc Stein:

James was expected to feature in the Lakers lineup earlier in the week, but the team has delayed his return. He was initially in question for Saturday as well, but LA has now made it clear that he'll play. The King missed the last five contests.

Davis tweaked his groin against the Knicks on Tuesday and sat out vs. Houston the next night, but he's back and ready to roll.

As for Schroder, he's been out for seven games after entering the league's health and safety protocols for the second time this season. With Alex Caruso also available, even though Vogel may not play him here, everything seems to be falling into place for the Lakers.

They're now at full strength ahead of the Play-In but if Los Angeles can win their last two games and Portland loses their season finale to Denver, the Lakers could still lock down the six seed. They're also currently on a three-game winning streak ahead of a back-to-back.

Hopefully, James feels no discomfort after already re-aggravating his ankle a couple of weeks back. But, LeBron did voice recently that he's felt close to 100%, which is great news.

It's safe to say, the Lakers are back in time for a title run.
