Another night, another record for LeBron James. This one: wins.

The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Cleveland Cavaliers — one of James' former teams — 127-113 on Tuesday night. Adding in both regular-season and playoff games, James has now played in 1,229 wins over his record-setting 23-year career.

That's one more than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's career total.

Abdul-Jabbar still has the regular-season wins record. He played in 1,074 of those; James is 29 wins from tying that number. James has the playoff record with 184 wins, or 23 more than Derek Fisher.

Lakers, Nuggets clinch

The Lakers and Denver both clinched playoff spots on Tuesday night. They join Detroit, Boston, New York, Oklahoma City and San Antonio on the list of teams with playoff spots secured.

The postseason (not playoff) teams are set: Milwaukee, Chicago, Washington, Brooklyn and Indiana have all been eliminated from the Eastern Conference race while Memphis, New Orleans, Dallas, Utah and Sacramento are out of the Western Conference race.

Portland, Golden State and the Los Angeles Clippers are locked into the play-in tournament.

Numbers watch

Sacramento's DeMar DeRozan is eight points shy of tying Dominique Wilkins (26,668) for 17th on the NBA's all-time scoring list — and returns to Toronto on Wednesday night with eyes on getting to that spot. Other than the active players ahead of him on the scoring list (James, Kevin Durant, James Harden and Russell Westbrook), everyone else with DeRozan’s point total is in the Hall of Fame.

Stat of the day

The 30,000th 3-pointer of the season was made Tuesday night. It's the fifth consecutive year that the NBA has reached 30,000 3s — but it doesn't seem likely that the full-season record of 33,304 set last season will be reached. The current pace for this season: 32,638.
