Saturday night will be LeBron James’ 50th regular-season game against the Sixers. Not surprisingly, he’s had the upper hand most of the time. Let’s look at some of the numbers.

LeBron’s most points in a game against the Sixers. In his final season with Cleveland, King James put up a 44-point triple-double, adding 11 rebounds and 11 assists. But LeBron also had eight turnovers and took the loss. His protégé, Ben Simmons, had 27 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists to lead the Sixers to a 132-130 victory at the Wells Fargo Center. That was the 13th of 16 consecutive wins to end the 2017-18 regular season for the Sixers.

LeBron’s regular season win total against the Sixers, the most wins by any player against them since he debuted in 2003. Dwyane Wade (34), Dwight Howard (32) and Vince Carter (31) are the only other players with 30 wins over the Sixers in that span. LeBron is 37-12 in his career against the Sixers, a .755 winning percentage. He’s only faced the Sixers once in the playoffs. His Miami Heat beat the “Show Ya Luv” Sixers 4-1 back in the 2011 Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Here are the top five Sixer Killers: Wilt Chamberlain (35.6 PPG), Michael Jordan (30.8), Elgin Baylor (30.4), James Harden (28.7) and George Gervin (27.5).

LeBron’s longest winning streak against the Sixers, from March 30, 2008 until April 6, 2013. The Sixers finally ended that streak in Brett Brown’s first game as head coach, shocking the Heat 114-110 in the 2013-14 season opener. Evan Turner outscored LeBron 26-25 on that night.

Points LeBron needs tonight to pass Kobe Bryant for third place on the NBA all-time scoring list. You might have heard that Kobe is kind of, sort of from Philadelphia. He reps the Eagles, at least, while LeBron roots for the Cowboys and Yankees.

Triple-doubles against the Sixers, the fifth-most by any player. Oscar Robertson had 21 triple-doubles against the Sixers, followed by Jason Kidd (7), Russell Westbrook (7) and Magic Johnson (6). Westbrook’s total is particularly impressive, considering he’s only faced the Sixers 21 times.

LeBron’s current losing streak against the Sixers. That’s right, the Sixers have won the last three meetings against LeBron’s teams, including one last season against the Lakers and two in his final season with Cleveland. We’ll see if the Sixers can get the better of LeBron again tonight.
