Anthony Davis is in the midst of a jaw-dropping streak. The Los Angeles Lakers' big man has posted at least 25 points and 10 rebounds with 50 percent field goal shooting in 8 consecutive games, tying him with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Charles Barkley for the 2nd longest such streak over the past 50 years, per Justin Kubatko. Only Shaquille O'Neal had a longer such streak, as he recorded 11 games in a row during the 2000-2001 campaign.

He joined Michael Jordan in the history books following his 44-point effort in the win.
