LeBron James is healthy enough to play if he absolutely necessary. But with James banged up and the Cavs holding a comfortable lead for the best record in the league, Mike Brown will rest James for the second straight game on Monday night versus the Spurs.

With James sitting out Monday's game, he will be able to get six consecutive days of rest.

"I'm good, I'm good," James said when asked about his right ankle.

James also has a bruised thigh and some back soreness.

Cleveland holds a three-game lead over the Lakers for the top record in the NBA, and the Cavs also own the tiebreaker.

The Cavaliers beat San Antonio, securing their first win without James in several seasons.
