The Houston Rockets will play the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night in California.

Anthony Davis moved up on the all-time scoring list during the game, creating NBA history.

With 16,271 career points going into the evening, Davis has now passed Andre Miller (16,278) for 111th place on the list.

Stephon Marbury (16,297) will be the next player for Davis to pass after Miller. 

With an average of 22.6 points, 12.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.1 steals, and 2.7 blocks per game while shooting 55.3% from the field going into the game, Davis was a formidable opponent. 

After 20 games, the Lakers have a record of 11-9, good for the seventh seed in the Western Conference.  

They have a record of 6-4 in their last 10 games and a 7-2 record in the nine games they have hosted at their Los Angeles, California, home arena. 

The Lakers’ next game is scheduled for Tuesday, when they welcome Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns, after the Rockets. 

In his fifth season with the Lakers, Davis has contributed three times to their trip to the NBA Finals. 

They defeated the Miami Heat to win the 2020 NBA Championship, and they recently finished a season that saw them make it to the Western Conference Finals. 

Being the first choice in the 2012 NBA Draft, the former Kentucky standout has made a name for himself as one of the greatest forwards of all time. 

Throughout his career, he has averaged 24.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.3 steals, 2.3 blocks, and 52.0% from the field per game.
