Anthony Davis’ Negative Record Against 25 NBA Stars

There are concerns about Anthony Davis’ record against the top stars in the NBA. The big man has seemingly struggled against the best players during his time and that raises eyebrows as to how his legacy compares to the elite big men before him. 

1. Anthony Davis vs. Domantas Sabonis: 0-10 (0.0%)

Anthony Davis Stats: 23.1 PPG, 10.8 RPG, 2.3 APG, 1.0 SPG, 2.0 BPG

Domantas Sabonis Stats: 13.3 PPG, 10.6 RPG, 4.5 APG, 1.1 SPG, 0.4 BPG

The head-to-head record between Anthony Davis and Domantas Sabonis clearly favors Sabonis, with Davis losing all ten matchups against him. Despite Davis’s impressive individual stats, including 23.1 points per game, 10.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals, and 2.0 blocks per game, he has struggled to secure victories when facing Sabonis.

On the other hand, Domantas Sabonis, with averages of 13.3 points, 10.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.4 blocks per game, has proven to be a formidable opponent for Davis. Sabonis’s ability to contribute across multiple statistical categories, particularly in rebounding and playmaking, has likely played a significant role in his team’s success against Davis and the Lakers.

It’s worth noting that this trend continued recently, as Wednesday night saw another loss for Davis against Sabonis, with the Lakers falling to the Kings, 120-107.

2. Anthony Davis vs. Steve Nash: 0-2 (0.0%)

Anthony Davis Stats: 15.5 PPG, 4.5 RPG, 0.5 APG, 1.0 SPG, 1.0 BPG

Steve Nash Stats: 8.5 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 3.0 APG, 0.0 SPG, 0.0 BPG

The head-to-head record between Anthony Davis and Steve Nash shows that Davis has lost both matchups against Nash, resulting in a win percentage of 0.0%. Even if Davis played against Nash when the point guard was older and past his prime, he could still not generate a single win.

While Davis may have displayed his defensive abilities with steals and blocks, Nash’s playmaking skills and ability to orchestrate the offense seem to have contributed to his team’s success against Davis. Despite Davis’s individual contributions, Nash’s impact on the game and his team’s overall performance may have been key factors in securing victories in their matchups and Davis’ numbers have been below his standard as well.

3. Anthony Davis vs. Joel Embiid: 1-7 (12.5%)

Anthony Davis Stats: 23.1 PPG, 11.8 RPG, 1.9 APG, 1.4 SPG, 2.3 BPG

Joel Embiid Stats: 25.3 PPG, 10.8 RPG, 4.0 APG, 1.1 SPG, 1.6 BPG

Between Anthony Davis and Joel Embiid, Embiid has dominated with a commanding 7-1 record against Davis, resulting in a win percentage of 12.5% for Davis.

Anthony Davis has averaged 23.1 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.4 steals, and 2.3 blocks per game. On the other hand, Joel Embiid has posted averages of 25.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.6 blocks per game.

Despite Davis’s strong performances in scoring, rebounding, and defensive stats, Embiid’s contributions, especially in scoring and playmaking, seem to have had a significant impact on the outcome of their matchups.

In the games between Anthony Davis and Stephen Curry, Curry has maintained a significant advantage with a record of 31 wins to Davis’s 9, resulting in a win percentage of 22.5% for Davis. To be fair, Curry and his Warriors team have had great success against most superstars during the mid to late 2010s.

While Davis has displayed strong numbers in scoring, rebounding, and defensive contributions, Curry’s scoring prowess and playmaking abilities stand out. Curry’s ability to score at a high volume and create opportunities for his teammates has likely contributed to his team’s success against Davis in their matchups.

In the expected duels between Anthony Davis and Klay Thompson, Davis has won 11 out of 41 games, resulting in a win percentage of 26.8%.

Davis’s ability to impact the game on both offense and defense makes him a formidable opponent for Thompson and his team. However, Thompson was clearly a part of a dominant side in the Western Conference for years and Davis did not have much luck against any of the Warriors stars. Overall, despite Thompson’s scoring prowess, Davis’s all-around contributions likely contributed to his higher win percentage in their matchups.
