Coming off the greatest scoring performance of his career, James attempts to lead the visiting Miami Heat to a ninth consecutive victory and eighth in a row versus the Houston Rockets as two of the NBA's premier teams battle tonight.
James put on a show in yesterday's 124-107 victory against the Charlotte Bobcats, posting a franchise-record 61 points while making 22 of 33 shots.
"The amazing part is the efficiency," said teammate Shane Battier to reporters yesterday adding. "Good Lord. Sixty-one on 33 shots, that's Wilt Chamberlain-esque. That's pretty amazing. Incredible performance."
The four-time MVP also set team records with the most points in any quarter (25 in the third) and most in the second half (37). He finished 8 of 10 from 3-point range after making his first eight attempts.
"The man above has given me some unbelievable abilities to play the game of basketball. I just try to take advantage of it every night. I got the trust of my teammates and my coaching staff to go in there and let it go," said James to reporters last night after his career performance adding. "Every night I go on the floor I want to be the MVP, of this league, MVP of this team, MVP for me, myself and my family. I've set a high standard and I have to live by that."
James has been wearing a protective mask to protect his broken nose. He has averaged 37.1 points on 63% shooting while playing in seven of Miami's eight straight wins. The Heat have outscored opponents by an average of 13.9 points during their winning streak.
The Rockets have won 11 of their last 13 games after defeating the Detroit Pistons by the final score of 118-110 on Saturday. Terrence Jones totaled 22 points and 10 rebounds, and James Harden scored 20 points to go with 12 assists. The Rockets improved to 25-3 when Jones scores more than 10 points per game.
