James had a tough week where he was in a big shooting slump.

However, he is coming off a game where he had 29 points, five rebounds, eight assists and one steal while shooting 12/18 from the field and 1/4 from the three-point range in 29 minutes of playing time.

In addition, James has been excellent in his previous five games against Atlanta.
