Davis provided 23 points (9-22 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, four blocks and three steals over 49 minutes during Friday's 141-137 3OT loss to Sacramento.
While it was another strong defensive effort for Davis, it was overshadowed by the Lakers blowing a double-digit lead and failing to close out one of the league's worst teams in three overtime periods. After missing Wednesday's win over the Pacers, Davis struggled from the floor, the free throw line, and from three, where he's now down to an unbelievably poor 16.7 percent (7-42 3PT) on the season. After shooting 26.0 percent from deep last season and 33.0 percent in 2019-20, Davis' outside shot has completely abandoned him to the point that he's no longer a threat from that area of the floor. Still, Davis remains an elite fantasy option thanks to his scoring, rebounding and defensive contributions. Entering the weekend, he's up to 1.3 steals and 2.3 blocks per game.
