James’ newest recreation: He scored 41 factors Saturday evening within the Los Angeles Lakers’ 125-121 additional time loss at Boston.

James’ scoring common this season: 30.2.

Potential record-breaker: At his present fee of 30.2 factors per recreation, with 117 factors wanted to cross Abdul-Jabbar, it might take James 4 extra video games to develop into the NBA’s scoring chief. The Lakers say James is not going to play at Brooklyn on Monday. Assuming he doesn’t miss any extra video games, he can be on tempo to interrupt the file Feb. 7 at house in opposition to Oklahoma Metropolis.

Subsequent Lakers recreation: Monday at Brooklyn. They play at New York on Tuesday.
