James ended with 30 points (14-23 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 39 minutes during Saturday's 119-108 victory over the Nuggets in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. The Lakers are still alive in the series against the Nuggets, and James became just the fourth player in NBA history to record a 30-point playoff game at the age of 39 or older, joining Reggie Miller, Karl Malone and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on that exclusive list. James has surpassed the 25-point mark in each of the four games in this series, and the Lakers will need him to be at his best once again if they want to avoid elimination in Game 5 on Monday.

Latest Lakers News
LeBron James : Shines with 30-point game Saturday
James ended with 30 points (14-23 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 39 minutes during Saturday's 119-108 victory over the Nuggets in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. The Lakers are still alive in the series against the Nuggets, and James became just the fourth player in NBA history to record a 30-point playoff game at the age of 39 or older, joining Reggie Miller, Karl Malone and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on that exclusive list. James has surpassed the 25-point mark in each of the four games in this series, and the Lakers will need him to be at his best once again if they want to avoid elimination in Game 5 on Monday.
Anthony Davis : Massive stat line in Game 4 win
Davis provided 25 points (11-17 FG, 3-4 FT), 23 rebounds, six assists and one block in 42 minutes during Saturday's 119-108 victory over the Nuggets in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. Davis was efficient from the field and active on the glass en route to posting his first 20-point, 20-rebound performance since the win over the Bucks on March 28. Davis has been magnificent in the series despite the fact the Lakers are down 1-3, as he's scored at least 25 points and grabbed double-digit rebounds in each of the four contests. He needs to continue at a high level as a two-way threat if the Lakers want to have a shot at pulling the upset in Game 5 of the series.
D'Angelo Russell : Bounces back in Game 4 win
Russell ended Saturday's 119-108 win over the Nuggets in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 21 points (8-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 41 minutes. Russell faced tons of scrutiny following a woeful effort in a Game 3 loss during which he finished scoreless (0-7 FG, 0-6 3Pt), but he bounced back admirably and reached the 20-point mark for the second time in this series. Russell will need to carry his hot hand into Game 5 if the Lakers want to avoid elimination Monday.
LeBron James : Cleared to play
James (ankle) is good to go for Saturday's Game 4 versus the Nuggets. No surprise here, as James was carrying his usual probable tag prior to this update. There's no word of any restrictions ahead of tipoff.
Christian Wood : Will play Saturday
Wood (knee) will be available for Game 4 against the Nuggets on Saturday, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports. Wood will finally return after a prolonged absence, as he hasn't stepped on the court since Feb. 14. He's expected to have a role off the bench and will compete for frontcourt minutes with Jaxson Hayes, though by all accounts, his role will be minimal Saturday.
Anthony Davis : Will play in Game 4
Davis (wrist) will play in Saturday's Game 4 versus Denver, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports. Davis popped up as questionable on the injury report with a left wrist sprain after previously battling a back injury and some soreness in both heels, but with Los Angeles' season on the line, Davis will continue to push through his ailments.
Jarred Vanderbilt : Won’t play in Game 4
Vanderbilt (foot) won't play in Saturday's Game 4 versus Denver, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports. Although Vanderbilt has ramped up his activity at practice, he'll remain on the sidelines as the Lakers attempt to keep their season alive Saturday.
Cam Reddish : Out again Saturday
Reddish (ankle) will not play in Saturday's Game 4 versus Denver, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports. Reddish will miss his seventh straight game, including the end of the regular season. He remains without a timetable for a return.
