LeBron James’ Historic Streak Faces Uncertain Future—Can He Keep It Alive?

LeBron James is not only the NBA’s all-time leading scorer in both regular-season and playoff history, but he also holds one of the most impressive ongoing streaks in basketball—scoring 10 or more points in every game for nearly two decades.

As of February 13, 2025, James has scored 10+ points in 1,270 consecutive games, a record unmatched by any other player. With the season in full swing, many are wondering: Will LeBron continue this incredible streak until the end of the 2024-25 season?

Let’s break down the betting odds, historical comparisons, and factors that could impact this legendary run.

Betting Odds: Will LeBron Keep the Streak Alive?

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the odds for LeBron to continue scoring 10+ points in every game this season are:

– Yes: -1200 (Bet $10 to win $10.83 total)

– No: +700 (Bet $10 to win $80 total)

These odds heavily favor LeBron keeping the streak alive, but with the wear and tear of a long season and the unpredictability of injuries, nothing is guaranteed.

How LeBron’s Streak Compares to NBA Legends

To truly understand the magnitude of LeBron’s streak, let’s compare it to other all-time greats:

– Michael Jordan: 866 consecutive games (March 1986 – December 2001)

– Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: 787 consecutive games (December 1977 – December 1987)

– LeBron James: 1,270 consecutive games (January 2007 – present)

LeBron has not scored fewer than 10 points in a game since January 5, 2007, when he finished with 8 points in a Cavaliers win over the Milwaukee Bucks. That game saw Drew Gooden and Larry Hughes lead the scoring for Cleveland, combining for 53 points.

Since that night, LeBron has been remarkably consistent, posting at least 10 points in every game he has played for 18 straight years.

LeBron’s 2024-25 Season Performance

So far this season, LeBron has had some close calls that put his streak at risk:

– Lowest-scoring games: 10, 11, and 12 points

– Total games under 20 points: 14

– Current season averages:

+) 24.3 points per game

+) 51.6% field goal shooting

Despite being in his 22nd NBA season, LeBron remains one of the league’s most efficient scorers, shooting above 50% from the field for the 14th time in his career.

What Could Threaten the Streak?

While LeBron’s streak seems nearly unstoppable, there are a few factors that could put it in jeopardy:

1. Potential Injuries

At 39 years old, LeBron is still performing at an elite level, but age and injuries are always a concern. A minor injury that limits his playing time or forces him to leave a game early could break the streak.

2. Load Management & Rest Games

With the Lakers battling for playoff positioning, the coaching staff may choose to limit LeBron’s minutes or rest him on back-to-back games. If he plays significantly fewer minutes in a game, he could struggle to reach double digits in scoring.

3. Off Shooting Nights

While rare, LeBron has had games where he just doesn’t have his usual scoring touch. Over the years, he has had seven games with exactly 10 points, meaning he was just one or two missed shots away from falling below the mark.

Will LeBron Keep the Streak Alive?

Given his scoring consistency, shooting efficiency, and importance to the Lakers, LeBron’s streak is likely to continue unless injuries or rest games interfere.

With betting odds heavily favoring him, fans and analysts expect him to extend his record well beyond 1,300 games, cementing one of the most unbreakable records in NBA history.

The only question is: How long can he keep it going?
