The Lakers were up by 21 points heading into the fourth quarter, so James got some extra rest and missed a chance to collect his 25th double-double of the season. The 39-year-old has scored 20 or more points in seven of his last eight games and has averaged 26.6 points, 8.6 assists, 7.9 boards and 2.3 three-pointers over that stretch while shooting a blistering 61.1 percent from the floor and 56.3 percent (18-for-32) from beyond the arc. Because James didn't play his full minutes Tuesday, head coach Darvin Ham said after the game that he's expecting the star forward to be available Wednesday in Washington for the second leg of the back-to-back set, per Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
