James confirmed Tuesday morning that he will play in Game 4 versus the Hawks, Yahoo! Sports' Marc Spears reports. "I'm ready to go," James said. "I will be active tonight."

Analysis:

James is admittedly banged up after six tough games against the Bulls and three matchups with the Hawks in which he's been asked to shoulder a massive offensive burden in the absences of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. He rolled his ankle in the second half of Game 2 in Atlanta and appeared to be dealing with leg cramps late in Game 3. James likely won't be close to 100 percent, but none of his ailments are considered serious, so expect another high usage, high production night as James seeks his fifth straight Finals berth. Should Cleveland prevail at home, James and longtime teammate James Jones will become the first players to accomplish the feat in nearly 50 years.
