Don’t listen to the media, listen to these stats. LeBron may be getting negative attention for his recent performances but he is returning to Miami where he has scored (30, 26, 26, 51, 28, 33, 27 & 30 points) in 8 of 9 games since being traded from Miami. The one game he failed to score 26+ was an outlier night he had 18. If there was ever a spot for him to shut the hater up it’s in the city he used to own. Let’s go 👑 James

LeBron heads back to Miami tonight for a matchup against his former team. LeBron certainly does not have the consistent ceiling this season; however, his fastball is still there for certain occasions and he definitely picks his spots. Since leaving the Heat in 2014, LeBron has averaged 29.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 4.6 turnovers in his 9 games in Miami. It’s obviously old data points, but it does demonstrate the propensity to get up just a bit more for this matchup. LeBron is averaging 4 Turnovers per game this season but 5.1 over his last 10 games with 4+ in 9/10 and 5+ in 7/10. Given the spot, I’ll grab LeBron on this mini Turnover Ladder.

Read full writeup on X: https://x.com/PicksOffice The Lakers’ road struggles contrast with Miami’s defensive strength at home. Miami’s edge on the boards and overall defensive efficiency, led by Adebayo and Love, could limit L.A.'s chances. The Heat’s superior three-point shooting and balanced scoring, combined with disciplined defense, counter the Lakers’ reliance on LeBron and Davis. Miami’s depth and cohesion position them as the stronger team.
