Lakers' LeBron James: Double-doubles with 12 assists
LeBron James supplied 26 points (9-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-11 FT), two rebounds and 12 assists across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 124-118 victory over the Jazz.James was visibly impressed with Dalton Knecht's performance, and the rookie was partly responsible for the All-Star's lofty assist total. James and Anthony Davis both scored 26 points, and their ability to record big numbers simultaneously is a big reason why the team is off to a 10-4 start. The duo sometimes suffers with poor results from the supporting cast, but Knecht's three-point barrage allowed them to make plays and keep the defense guessing.

Lakers' LeBron James: Takes over in fourth quarter
LeBron James delivered 21 points (8-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and a steal across 37 minutes in Saturday's 104-99 win over the Pelicans.James was unable to extend his streak of consecutive triple-doubles to five games and was having a relatively down performance early, at least by his recent standards. However, he took over in the fourth quarter when the Los Angeles Lakers needed him most and scored 11 of his 21 points in the final 12 minutes. James' triple-double streak ended in this low-scoring win, but he remains an above-average source of fantasy production even though he's only a few weeks away from turning 40 years old.

Lakers' LeBron James: Leads charge with triple-double
LeBron James had 21 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, 13 assists and three blocks over 34 minutes during Friday's 116-106 victory over the 76ers.D'Angelo Russell was bumped to the bench in this one, so James again took on primary distribution duties -- Austin Reaves (seven) was the only other Laker on the night to record more than three assists. The result was the second triple-double of the season for James and the 114th of his Hall of Fame career, fifth all-time behind Russell Westbrook, Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson and Nikola Jokic. James' 23.7 points a game so far in 2024-25 would be the lowest mark of his career, but that decline is due to lower shot volume, not eroding skills. The 39-year-old is also averaging 8.1 assists, 7.4 boards and 2.7 threes a contests while shooting 52.3 percent from the floor and 47.1 percent from beyond the arc.

James has scored at least 25 points in three of his last four appearances and seems to have left a minor "slump" behind. He's averaging 28.7 points, 9.0 assists and 7.0 rebounds per game since the start of November while shooting 54.4 percent from the field and 57.1 percent from beyond the arc.

James' production has been relatively modest in terms of his lofty standards. He's averaging 21.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 6.6 assists per contest.
