If this is the variation of Anthony Davis the Los Angeles Lakers get come playoff time, the remainder of the Western Conference must be definitely horrified.
Davis continued his current hot streak in the Lakers’ 134-109 win over the lowly Houston Rockets on Sunday night, tape-recording 40 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks. The group has actually won its last 3 video games and 6 of its last 7.
The eight-time All-Star has actually scored a minimum of 37 points in 4 of his last 5 video games and has actually looked a lot like the man that was an early MVP prospect to begin the season. And with Los Angeles sneaking ever closer to an ensured area in the playoffs, his kind makes the Lakers a genuine competitor in the West.
NBA Twitter has actually feared of Davis’ efficiencies, specifically on Sunday.

It’s undoubtedly excellent news for Los Angeles, as the NBA’s all-time leading scorer appears to be playing himself back into shape in the nick of time for the postseason.
It hasn’t been too long considering that a healthy duo of James and Davis led the Lakers on a dominant go to an
At 40-38 now, the Lakers are sturdily in the playoff photo as the No. 7 seed and are prowling to get among the leading 6 seeds in the West. They are simply a half-game behind the Los Angles Clippers for the No. 6 seed and one video game behind the Warriors for the No. 5 seed with 4 video games to go.
