Anthony Davis
The Los Angeles Lakers are currently on a winning streak, and Anthony Davis has been a massive part of it; AD played the last game but did not attempt too many shots as he was recovering from an injury. This would be bad news for fantasy users who hope AD can play a complete game for the Los Angeles Lakers. Lebron James has been out for a while and is being asses to be back by mid-April.
Anthony Davis has been injured a lot this season, but whenever he is fit, he has delivered, especially in recent games. D’Angelo Russell and Dennis Schroeder have also been perfect for the Lakers on this incredible winning run.
Fantasy players will hope that Anthony Davis can add to the Laker’s winning streak with a big scoring game against the New York Knicks.
Is Anthony Davis playing tonight?
Anthony Davis has been listed as a probable for Sunday night’s game against the New York Knicks. AD is still recovering from a foot injury but did play the last time he was listed as probable. AD has been riddled with injuries all season, and it has been a trend since he joined the Lakers in 2019. When AD was fit, they died to win a championship, so he was a very important player.
Anthony Davis will be playing in only his 43rd game of the season which is more than last season but still quite low for such a superstar. AD played 60+ games just once for the Lakers and that was in his first-ever season. The Brow will look to add to his impressive scoring record tonight against the New York Knicks. AD is 11-6 in his career against the New York Knicks.
Where is Anthony Davis playing?
Anthony Davis started as a power forward at the New Orleans Pelicans and was very good there, finishing top 3 in MVP voting at one point. AD came to the Lakers in 2019 and played power forward and center interchangeably, as his skillsets are inclusive. AD has stated that he prefers playing as a power forward over a center, as he has a more attacking style.
The Brow is a great post player as he can hit someone with a spin move, dunk on them, and shoot a smooth fadeaway. AD has developed an excellent jump shot which is highly efficient for a guy of his size. Davis is s decent three-point shooter, but he has hit a very clutch three-pointer in the playoffs, so he definitely has that clutch gene. AD is also an excellent rebounder, averaging a career-high in rebounds this season at 12.4.
Anthony Davis’ fantasy updates and predictions
Anthony Davis is averaging 52.7 fantasy points this season and is one of the top ten players in his position. AD is averaging 26 points and 12 rebounds this season at a great efficiency of 56% from the field. AD was injured for a lot of the season but is likely to play for the game against the Knicks so adding him to a fantasy team right now would be perfect,
Anthony Davis has improved in his fantasy stats from last season, averaging just 48.6 fantasy points per game. The Los Angeles Lakers star is an NBA Champion and an 8x time all-star many of those selections are coming for the New Orleans Pelicans. Anthony Davis is precited to start the match. Still, if his foot injury aggravates, he could see extended bench time as the Lakers would focus more on upcoming games against Western Conference rivals.
Anthony Davis alternative picks for your fantasy team
The Brow is still probable, so here are some alternative fantasy picks for the night. His opponent on the night, Julius Randle, is a suitable replacement in the same position. Randle is averaging 41.4 points and will look to take advantage if AD has to sit out for extended periods. Randle is a streaky scorer, so shooting might not be consistent, but he is clutch for sure.
Kristaps Porzingis has been on a good run of scoring lately, scoring 65 points in his last two NBA games combined. KP is averaging 41.1 fantasy points this season and has been an essential power forward for the Wizards. Porzingis is averaging a career-high in points in the NBA at 23.2 PPG. KP is an excellent alternative to AD as he also shoots the three-pointer better than him.
