Even without Anthony Davis, LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers were able to get the job done and handily beat the Dallas Mavericks to earn their seventh consecutive win.
With Davis sitting out, James took it upon himself to get the offense going and he was absolutely electric, scoring 35 points on 14-of-25 shooting from the field while pulling down 16 rebounds. He had no issues driving to the rim as Dallas did not have much interior protection with Kristaps Porzingis also missing the game.
James has had one of his most productive regular seasons in recent memory and as a result, he has been climbing up the all-time leaderboard in several statistical categories.
