The Lakers' grueling six-game Eastern Conference road trip continues on Wednesday as they make their lone trip to Toronto this season.
As Los Angeles heads north, all eyes are on Anthony Davis, who was recently named player of the week for his jaw-dropping efforts in recent games. Last Friday, Davis finished with 44 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Lakers past the Bucks only to outdo himself with 55 points and 17 rebounds in a win over the Wizards on Sunday.
This season, Davis is averaging a team-high 27.3 points and 12.3 rebounds through 21 games, impressive numbers considering his night was cut extremely short in LA's most recent outing.
