LeBron's 5-game rolling average sits at 26.2 PPG, maintaining a 30.5% usage rate against a Rockets perimeter defense ranking 22nd in opponent 3P% and allowing 1.09 PPP to primary ball-handlers. With Davis's recent knee soreness potentially inflating LBJ's shot attempts and the game's projected 230+ total, an aggressive scoring night is highly probable. The implied game pace favors more possessions for offensive throughput. 90% YES — invalid if LeBron plays under 30 minutes.
