LeBron James has proved a hit at the Lakers this season after arriving from the Cavaliers in the summer.
Los Angeles are starting to pick up wins with their star man leading the line.
They beat the Pacers 104-96 last night and 24 hours later face a crunch tie with the Mavericks.
James came off the bench to win the game for Los Angeles in a testing tie.
And he will likely be called upon again for the Lakers at the Staples Center overnight.
LeBron James, at the age of 33, needs to look after his body and there are concerns he could burn out if he makes a habit out of saving the Lakers day-in, day-out.
And he posted an image of how he is preparing for tonight’s game.
James’ image on instagram showed the player wearing recovery bags on his legs.
The Normatec massage bags are meant to ‘enhance blood flow and speed recovery’ after exercise.
James was seated in the back of a car when he took the photo, which showed both legs wrapped in the apparatus.
“Preparing the body / mind for tomorrow night now,” he wrote.
James admitted after saving the Lakers against the Pacers that he is unsure when to defer to his team-mates when making calls during play.
“That’s the challenge of things I’ve been kind of battling with since the season started,” he said.
“How much do I defer and allow some of our young guys to kind of try to figure it out?
“How much do I try to take over games?”
