Can Anthony Davis Lead the Lakers to Playoff Success?

Anthony Davis has been instrumental in the Los Angeles Lakers' late-season push to the play-in tournament, and he may be the key to the team's success in the postseason. The eight-time All-Star has an impressive season record with averages of 25.9 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 steals, and 2.0 blocks per game. Additionally, Davis has credited his teammates for turning the season around despite several injuries, including his own. The Lakers are set to face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday evening, and Davis is listed as probable despite his previous stress reaction injury. The Timberwolves are in the middle of a three-game winning streak, but the Lakers are likely to depend on Davis, who dropped a whopping 38 points and 17 rebounds in their previous game against the Timberwolves. Davis' points, rebounds, and assists prop bet is set at an over/under of 40.5, and he has averaged 30.1 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 2 assists per game in 16 games against Minnesota. The Lakers' success in the playoffs may hinge on Davis' performance.
