Lakers' Anthony Davis: Goes cold as game progresses
Rotowire
Davis chipped in 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-5 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Monday's 138-94 loss to Philadelphia.
Davis was impressive in the early stages of the game and carried the Lakers on offense in the early minutes of the opening quarter, but he disappeared after that and ended up absorbed by Joel Embiid, who dominated him on both ends of the court with ease. Davis has now failed to reach the 20-point plateau in four of his last seven outings, though his contributions in other categories more than make up for the nights when his shot isn't falling.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Tallies season-high 32 points
Rotowire
Davis ended with 32 points (13-20 FG, 6-7 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals in 38 minutes during Saturday's 121-115 win over the Cavaliers.
Davis did his best work in the second half, scoring 23 points to help lead the Lakers to a win in a game that was close throughout. The scoring output was a nice bounce-back effort by the star big man after he recorded just 10 points versus Dallas in his previous contest. Davis also got back into the groove as a shot blocker, swatting three shots Saturday after he had posted just two blocks over his previous three games combined. He still leads the NBA with 2.9 blocks per game on the campaign.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Records quiet double-double
Rotowire
Davis finished with 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 104-101 loss to the Mavericks.
Davis was his usual effective self on the boards, but his offensive performance was below his usual standards. The big man finished with just 10 points overall and was held scoreless in the fourth quarter despite the fact that the Lakers put up 30 points and stormed back from a big deficit in the period. Though Davis has been solid overall this season, he has had some offensive clunkers -- in addition to Wednesday's subpar outing, he's scored just nine points in a contest on two occasions. Fantasy managers shouldn't fret given Davis' consistency as a rebounder and shot-blocker as well as his overall body of work offensively, but there may be reason to wonder if the left adductor and hip spasms he's been dealing with impacted his scoring output to some extent in Wednesday's loss.

Davis produced 16 points (8-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, five blocks and three steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 107-95 win over the Trail Blazers.
Davis was quiet his last time out, putting up just nine points and nine boards in a loss to Sacramento on Wednesday. A lingering hip injury may have contributed to that subpar performance, but the All-Star big man turned things around with his ninth double-double of the campaign Friday. Davis also continued to wreak havoc on the defensive end with five blocks, and he's now swatted a total of 15 shots over his past three games. Though his scoring is slightly down so far this season, Davis ranks fourth in the NBA with 11.8 rebounds per contest and first with 3.5 blocks per game.
