James registered 20 points (8-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, three rebounds and two steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 142-111 victory over the Wizards.
Analysis
After scoring 11 points on 3-of-10 shooting from the field in Wednesday's loss to Cleveland, James bounced back against Washington. The 41-year-old finished as Los Angeles' third-leading scorer, reaching the 20-point threshold for the third time in his last five outings. Over that stretch, the superstar has averaged 19.0 points, 5.0 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals per contest.

Struggles in blowout loss
James recorded 11 points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five assists, three rebounds and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 129-99 loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis
James returned to Cleveland to face the team that selected him with the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft and played what could very well be his final NBA game in the city. The 41-year-old couldn't get into a rhythm in this one and scored fewer than 17 points for the first time since Dec. 4, when he scored eight in a win over Toronto. The superstar still dished out five assists in his limited run against the Cavaliers, and he has recorded at least five dimes in 12 of his 14 appearances this month.

Adds 24 points in win
James ended with 24 points (9-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 129-118 victory over the Bulls.
Analysis
James got off to a strong start in this one, scoring 20 of his 24 points in the first half. While he shot 0-for-4 from the field and scored just four points in the second half, the superstar still finished as Los Angeles' second-leading scorer behind Luka Doncic (46 points). James was inefficient from three-point range and has shot just 27.3 percent from deep over his last three games. However, he has still reached the 20-point threshold in two of those three outings.

Fuels comeback in Dallas

Analysis
Eleven of James' points came in the fourth quarter, as the Lakers erased a 14-point deficit in the final nine minutes. The future Hall of Famer is having a productive January, averaging 24.8 points, 7.5 boards, 7.3 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.2 steals over his last 12 games.
