LOS ANGELES – LeBron James is expected to return on Christmas Day to the lineup of the Los Angeles Lakers, who are coming off their most one-sided defeat of the NBA season. James missed a 128-104 loss to the visiting Denver Nuggets on Sunday (Monday, Manila time) because of a strained chest muscle. Davis slipped early in the fourth quarter of the loss to Denver and his right knee bent awkwardly. Both James and Davis missed team practice on Monday. The Lakers lost to the Clippers 112-102 in the season opener on October 22.
