Anthony Davis has now won his battles against some of the best players in the NBA. He has dominated Denver Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic, Utah Jazz’s Rudy Gobert and Karl Anthony-Towns of the Timberwolves in the past week. The Los Angeles Lakers look unbeatable at the moment, and with Anthony Davis having an MVP-like season, Lakers seem unstoppable.  

Anthony Davis' MVP-like season

The Los Angeles Lakers cruised to their fourth successive victory on Sunday, beating the Minnesota Timberwolves 142-125 to improve to 21-3 for the season. Anthony Davis also had seven boards, six assists and four steals in the game. He shot the ball well, hitting 20 of his 29 attempts. Furthermore, Anthony Davis’ ability to stay on the court has been impressive. He has suffered minor injuries this campaign but has still managed to pull through. Lakers would hope that he continues to do the same. The Lakers don’t look too concerned about Davis, although he has been plagued with health issues for a significant portion of his career.
