2.) With No AD, LeBron has to look to score more
LeBron James in leading the league in assists this season, averaging 10.8 APG. But, with the possibility of not have Anthony Davis, LeBron must look to shoulder the scoring burden in his absence. Obviously LeBron is still going to play his game, he’s always going to get his teammates involved, but he can’t play the same way Friday night that he did last game against the Mavs.
LeBron had his season-low with 13 points, instead of scoring he looked to rack up assists, ending up with 13 of those as well. We need to see the LeBron we saw last time this team was in Dallas, he put up a season-high 39 points while still managing 16 assists!
It was without a doubt his best performance of the year. He doesn’t have to be that good in order for the Lakers to win, but that is the aggression he needs to play with in AD’s absence.
