Good question. I'm going to assume that they beat the Raptor in maybe 5. It could be a sweep, but the Cavs aren't consistent, so a gentleman sweep seems more likely. Then in the ECF....I'm honestly not certain the Cavs would make it past either the Celtics or the Sixers. The Cavs may have the Raptor's number, but outside of that, they're really not a very good team. It's Lebron or bust all the time. One has to imagine at some point, even in the east, that's not going to be enough anymore. As of right now, I'd be inclined to say the Cavs lose the ECF in 6 to either team. So in that scenario, with 9 more games ahead of him, I'd give him 3 more 40+ pointers. One against the Raptors, to finish them off/rub it in on their home floor, and then 2 more to carry them to some wins in the ECF.
If we give the Cavs the benefit of the doubt, and assume they make it to the finals vs the Warriors (or Rockets, though I don't trust them at all), they'd likely play another 4-6 games. The game 7 it would likely take for them to get out of the east, and 4-5 games in the finals. Again, assuming the top end there, he'd play a total of 15 more games, in which case I'd give him probably another 5-6 40 pointers.
