Anthony Davis red hot for the Los Angeles Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers may be struggling as a unit so far this season. They have a record of five wins and 11 losses, and have the second worst record in the Western Conference. Only the Houston Rockets at three wins and 14 losses are worse. It has also been documented over the last week about the Lakers’s struggles on the road. They are currently the only team that has not won a road game this season, as they are 0-6.

One positive spark plug in Los Angeles this season is their big man, center Anthony Davis, who has been an absolute beast. So far in 2022-23, Davis leads the National Basketball Association in rebounds per game with 12.6. He also averaged 26.4 points per game, 2.4 assists per game, 2.1 blocks per game, 1.7 steals per game, and has a field goal percentage of .560, three-point percentage of .211, and a free throw percentage of .832.

On Tuesday, the Lakers might have lost 115-105 to the Phoenix Suns, but Davis made NBA history. He became the first player ever to have a minimum of 35 points, 20 rebounds, five blocks and five steals in one game according to ESPN. Please remember that steals only became an official NBA statistic in the 1973-74 NBA season. Davis’s Tuesday stat line was 37 points, 21 rebounds, five steals and five blocks.

It was also the fourth straight game that Davis had a minimum of 30 points and 15 rebounds. On November 13, he had 37 points and 18 rebounds in a 116-103 win over the Brooklyn Nets. On November 18, Davis had 38 points and 16 rebounds in a 128-121 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. On November 20, Davis had 30 points and 18 rebounds in a 123-92 win over the San Antonio Spurs.
