LeBron James • Los Angeles Lakers
LeBron James accumulated 36 points (15-of-28 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, two steals and three three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Clippers.
With Austin Reaves and Deandre Ayton unavailable and Luka Dončić not returning for the second half, James was left to do most of the heavy lifting offensively. The Lakers’ forward, who turns 41 on December 30, showed that he still has plenty left in the tank, dropping his first 30-point game of the season. And over the last two weeks, LeBron has been close to a first-round player in eight-cat, 12-team formats. The Lakers play three games in Week 10, starting with the Suns on Tuesday.
