LeBron James endured a forgettable 41st birthday on Tuesday, finishing with 17 points (6-of-17 FGs, 2-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block, and three three-pointers in a loss to Detroit.

Fantasy Impact:

The milestone night was spoiled by a poor shooting effort and sloppy ball security, as James committed five turnovers to compound the Lakers' struggles. The Pistons managed to shut him down as they pulled away in the third quarter for a comfortable win. James will look to bounce back when the Lakers host the Grizzlies for a two-game set starting Friday.
