6 years agoLos Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James scored 29 points on 12-for-18 shooting in Thursday's loss to the Houston Rockets. He also added five assists, four rebounds, and two steals while shooting 3-for-6 from three. James has four games of 28 or more points in four of Los Angeles' last five outings, and has his highest scoring average since the final year of his first Cleveland season. The Lakers face a pretty good Hornets defense on Saturday who allow opponents to score the 15th-most points per game, but James is such a transcendent player that he should put up strong numbers despite the matchup.--Justin Carter - RotoBaller
