– LeBron James
As one of the top players of all-time, LeBron James is always going to be a player to watch anytime he is on the court. However, he is a player to watch against the Spurs because of how well that he played in the first two meetings this season. While we have seen some good games from players in the two matchups this season, James has been arguably the best in both games.
In the overtime loss, James totaled 32 points, 14 assists, and eight rebounds. In the second game, James totaled 35 points, 11 rebounds, and four assists. James is a walking triple-double anytime he is on the court, and he would certainly like to get a win against a team that has been a thorn in his side over the years.
James has been playing very well for the Lakers in his first season, and the team seems to be starting to gel. While James is still doing a lot of the heavy lifting, he is certainly capable of that while the young core still gets used to playing with him. However, he will need his teammates to step it up a bit compared to what they have done against the Spurs so far this season. .
