- Another scenario is if we take into account the average that he has maintained since he turned 38 (December 30), in which he has accumulated 34.8 points, he would need 4 games; If we review the following matches of the Lakers, the projection would be shortened to February 4 in the game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
