James tallied 34 points (13-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 34 minutes in Tuesday's 108-90 loss to the Suns.
Though the Lakers have now lost three games in a row, James has continued to play at a high level even while he nurses a nagging an abdominal injury. He's reached the 30-point mark in four of his last six outings while averaging 8.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 2.7 treys, 1.5 blocks and 1.3 steals in 37.3 minutes per contest. With co-star Anthony Davis (knee) out for at least another month, James should get all the minutes he can handle as he looks to keep a struggling Lakers squad afloat.
