🎂 LeGOAT turns 41 Today 🎂
- In the latter part of his career, I’ve been very cautious about taking LeBron props, as his consistency isn’t what it once was. Just use December 4th as an example, as he scored under 10 points for the first time in nearly 2 decades.
- But since that game, he’s scored 18+ Points in eight straight games with 13+ FGA in all 8 of those games. Part of the reason is that LeBron is now healthy after missing the first month with Sciatica (Nerve irritation in the lower back).
- But the main reason is Auston Reaves being OUT. The Lakers don’t have a 4th scorer outside of Luka, Reaves or LeBron, so LeBron’s FGA floor is safe around 13-15 per game. In 4 games, LeBron has 24+ Points in 4/4 games, averaging 28.5 PPG, and he’s seen the HIGHEST usage increase on the team with Reaves off the court.
- While the Pistons are a tough matchup, they give up the MOST free throws in the NBA. Against Jalen Duren specifically, LeBron has 20+ Points in 5/5 games and 25+ Points in 4/5 games. LeBron has 5+ FTA in 4 of those games.
- And yes, it is Bron Bron’s Birthday. In 10 career birthday games, he has 26+ Points in 9/10 games. His only time going under was scoring 22 Points in 2003, his rookie season.
