LeBron James' 28 points, 11 boards, 16 assists not enough for Lakers
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James scored 28 points (8-of-20 field goals, 9-of-11 free throws) with 11 rebounds, 16 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, 3 3-pointers, and 2 turnovers in 43.1 minutes of a 117-113 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday.
James recorded his fifth triple-double of the season and second in the past three games, but it wasn't enough to prevent the Lakers from falling to 28-29. This is the latest into a season that one of LeBron's teams have been under .500 since his rookie year in 2003-04, which means he will likely continue putting up bonkers lines in an effort to carry this unit into the playoffs. The Lakers are off until after the All-Star break.
LeBron scored 75.2 FanDuel points in the loss, his second-highest total of the season. He's averaging 51.0 FanDuel points through 39 games overall this season.
