113 127 143 325 | Lakers @ Cavaliers, the 113th all-time

Cavs are a 9-point favorite; 45, the 9th triangular number; Holy Bible = 45 / 45
*King James turned 45 the year the Bible was issued in his name

This will be the 113th game between the two teams.

The National Basketball Association = 113

These teams rematch on January 13, or 1/13 as well.

*National Basketball Association = 98; Chosen = 98; Chosen One = 98
*Lakers could fall to 9-8 with an upset loss

Recall, last year the Cavs and Lakers played on March 11, or 11/3, and the Lakers lost with 113-points, and then LeBron joined the Lakers 113-days later.

LeBron James = 42 / 51
Cleveland = 33 / 51

With a win, the Lakers could pick up their 10th of the season.

Ten = 42; Five = 42 (5th road win); LeBron James = 42

They could also also stay at 9.  Nine = 42

This game comes 143-days after LeBron joined the Lakers, and on the 325th day of the year.

Again, it is the 113th match between the Lakers and Cavs, to build on the 'Scottish' Rite riddle.

The Lakers won the last game 127-113.

This game also comes on the day leaving 40-days left in the year, a span of 40-days from LeBron's birthday.  *Basketball = 40

With a Cavs upset, they would become 3-5 at home, and the Lakers would become 4-5 on the road.

The first time LeBron played the Cavs as a member of the Heat, was December 2, 2010.

All-time, LeBron is 12-1 against the Cavs.  With a LeBron win, the Cavs would be 1-13 against him, sort of like 113.  Also, King James became a King at 13-months of age.

At the same time, if LeBron lost, he would be 12-2, sort of like how the first time he played the Cavs was December 2, or 12/2.
