Sunday’s 116-110 away victory over the Portland Trail Blazers was largely attributed to Anthony Davis’s 30 points and 13 rebounds.

Austin Reaves and Reddish teamed for 18 points to aid Los Angeles in Reddish’s second start in lieu of Reaves. Despite LeBron James missing his season-opening game because of a bruise in his left leg, the Lakers prevailed.
