Davis registered 27 points (10-22 FG, 7-9 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and five blocks in 37 minutes during Saturday's 107-97 victory over the Rockets.
Davis extended his double-double streak to nine games Saturday. When Davis is healthy, there are few players who can contain him, and although he has some lingering hip pain, you wouldn't know it from his totals. Only Nikola Jokic sports a higher rebound average than Davis, who is averaging 12.5 boards per game.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Big double-double in Detroit
Rotowire
Davis totaled 28 points (9-15 FG, 10-13 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 133-107 win over the Pistons.
It was the seventh straight double-double for Davis and his 15th in 18 games. Perhaps the most encouraging thing about the 30-year-old's start to the season has been that he's stayed mostly healthy -- Davis hasn't played more than 62 games in a season since 2017-18, but he's missed only one contest so far in 2023-24. During his double-double streak, he's averaging 22.3 points, 13.3 boards, 3.1 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.7 steals while shooting 58.9 percent from the floor.

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.

Rotowire
Davis supplied 27 points (11-15 FG, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 33 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 105-104 victory over the Rockets.
Davis, who's been dealing with an ongoing hip injury, was deemed available ahead of Sunday's matchup and delivered an excellent performance, posting his fifth double-double over the last six contests. The star big man has had a few subpar performances in the scoring column, but more often than not, he's posted excellent numbers on both ends of the court while operating as the Lakers' go-to player on offense at times, even ahead of LeBron James. Davis is averaging 20.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.6 blocks and 3.3 assists per game in November.
