The Mavs were entangled in a tough battle against the Atlanta Hawks, but despite strong efforts from Trae Young, who scored 25 while dishing 12 assists, it was Davis who took over. Davis dropped 34 points on 14-23 shooting. He also added 15 rebounds and 5 blocks, while receiving four stitches from an elbow to the eye in the second quarter.

When healthy, Anthony Davis is one of the top players in the league. This includes on both sides of the court. If Davis can remain healthy, along with Kyrie Irving, the Mavericks could become a top team next season.

The only question that remains is whether Davis can avoid the injury bug. Looking at his past, there are doubts, but as of now, Mavs fans can smile as they enjoy Davis’ game-winner.
