They had no natural center who could make Davis work hard for his shots. The Raptors repeatedly sent double teams which AD dissected with timely passes to teammates.<\/p>\n<p>Anthony Davis took what the defense gave him. Seven of his shots came within two feet of the basket, and he made four mid-range jumpers. AD went 1-for-4 from deep, which helped keep the defense honest.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>The Dallas Mavericks need Anthony Davis to be at his best in the play-in tournament<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/dallas-mavericks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Dallas Mavericks<\/a> will likely end with the No. 10 spot in the Western Conference after the regular season. They will have to travel to Sacramento for a do-or-die game against the Sacramento Kings for a shot at a playoff spot.<\/p>\n<p>Dallas is 0-3 against the Kings this season, which makes it highly important for Anthony Davis to be at his best. If the former LA Lakers star stumbles, the Mavericks will likely have an early offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Davis has recovered from so-so performances when matched up against Kings bruising big man Domantas Sabonis. This season, AD averaged 24.5 points, 14.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists when playing Sacramento. The Mavericks need him to hit or surpass these numbers in the play-in tournament to survive for another do-or-die game.<\/p>\n<p>AD could not dazzle Mavericks fans on Wednesday against the LA Lakers. He can try to make up for it with an impressive display once the play-in tournament starts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/574869-1717241309-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Michael Macasero&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nMichael Macasero brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to his coverage of basketball at Sportskeeda with over 18 years of diverse work experience.
