When he is healthy and in attack mode, there is nothing like Anthony Davis.
He played only four games in March for the Dallas Mavericks because of a left hip injury, but the star power forward/center opened this month with a bang. Davis could not be stopped in Wednesday’s matchup versus the Atlanta Hawks.

Anthony Davis puts up modest numbers in return to Mavs’ lineup
He suffered an eye injury late in the game; however, it did not stop him from holding off Trae Young. Davis turned in an impressive performance with 34 points and 15 rebounds on 14-of-23 shooting from the field. He drained two 3-pointers (four attempts) and had two assists, a steal, and five blocks. The 6-foot-10 specimen also put on a Superman cape with the game-winning shot as seconds remained in the contest — delivering the Mavs to a 120-118 victory. He recorded his best outing with Dallas since his showing of 26 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists, and three blocks in a 116-105 win over Houston on Feb. 8.
