Danny Green might have caught the headlines in that game but LeBron James was back to his best against the Utah Jazz.
The King recorded a double-double with 32 points and 10 assists. Anthony Davis did his bit with 21 points while Troy Daniels came off the bench to record 15 points.

The Lakers weren’t all that bad against the Clippers and the understanding between the players is still improving with each game.
James, Davis and Green could be the top scorers for this clash but Dream 11 requires players from both sides to feature in a line-up.
Quinn Cook gets the nod from the Lakers side for this position simply because he is an economical signing and gets a lot of minutes for the side.
The other player selected is Devonte’ Graham, who could bag a lot of points against the Lakers.
Troy Daniels was the surprise performer for the Lakers with 15 points against the Jazz, and is the only shooting guard for this game.
James has to be selected for this position with the King starting this season in great form.
The other option if the Hornets’ Miles Bridges, who racked up 17 points in the loss to the Wolves.
The relationship between James and Davis seems to be clicking right from the start.
The power forward has been racking up the boards and points and should be selected for this game.
PJ Washington recorded a double-double for the Hornets in the loss to the Wolves, and could be a smart addition to the side.
The Lakers might have the big names such as Dwight Howard and JaVale McGee for this position, however, Bismack Biyombo could be the better option, given that he starts for the Hornets.
It is difficult to pinpoint if James or Davis will be the better player on the night, but for this clash, the King should be the star.
The Lakers are getting in their groove under the leadership of James, and they should be favourites for this game.
