LeBron James won’t win his fifth MVP this season. But it can be argued that he deserves a top-five vote ... 112 points and allow 107.3 points per 100 possessions, and they are 8-3.

LeBron James tied Hassan Whiteside in blocks yesterday for No. 74 all-time ... The last time the Lakers were a top two seed after 41 games was 2020 when they won the NBA title.

James finished with 34 points against the Pelicans after toppling another milestone in his unprecedented career.
